Mayor of St Neots Charity Ball Rasies over £5000!

On Friday 1st March 2013 Mayor, Cllr Barry Chapman, hosted his annual charity ball at the Priory Centre in St Neots.  Over 200 guests attended and included MP, Jonathan Djanogly and his wife Rebecca, Civic Leaders and members of the public.

A raffle on the night raised over £1,000 with prizes donated from local businesses including a gold necklace from Goldstraws Goldsmiths, annual fitness membership from One Leisure and a season ticket from St Neots Football Club.

The money raised will go to St John's Hospice in Moggerhanger, dementia sufferers and carers in the St Neots area and the St Neots Air Training Corps.

The evening was a great success with entertainment from local magician Lee Walker and popular band Life and Soul with guests dancing the night away until the early hours.

On behalf of Cllr Chapman we would like to thank all those who helped make this ball the success it was.

Mayor's Carol Concert - A great evening

Saturday 8th December 2012 was the Mayor of St Neots annual Civic Carol Concert.  The concert was held at St Neots Parish Church and it was lovely to see so many people there, over 300 guests packed out the church.  
Visiting civics included Chairman of Huntingdonshire District Council, Chairman of Cambridgeshire County Council, Chairman of East Northamptonshire District Council, Mayors of Godmanchester, Fenland, Huntingdon, Leighton Linslade, Peterborough, Rushden, Sandy, St Ives and Whittlesey.


Members of the audience enjoy singing along to the carols.


The choir of St Marys C of E and Bushmead Primary School who performed three carols for the audience.  They were brilliant!

Mayor of St Neots, Cllr Barry Chapman performs one of two readings.


 Deputy Mayor of St Neots, Cllr Andrew Hansard reading to the audience.


The Eaton Singers with Reginald Searle who wrote one of the two carols that they performed on the night.  We also had performances from the St Neots Folk Group and the Church Choir but unfortunately I was unable to get a photo.

Everyone was invited back to the church rooms for drinks and nibbles with the Mayor.  A lovely end to a fantastic evening.  Our thanks go to our performers, the St Neots Air Cadets for their help with the collection for charity, Anglia Co-op for their kind donations to the reception and Rev'd Paul Andrews and his church members for hosting such a great evening.
