MAYOR’S FESTIVE AFTERNOON TEA A SUCCESS!
The Mayor of Newbury hosted a Festive Afternoon Tea on Tuesday 17th December for 50 guests all over the age of 75, to celebrate the Festive Season at St Nicolas Church Hall.
On arrival they were greeted by the Mayor of Newbury, Cllr Andy Moore and his Mayoress Sheila Moore, and given a welcome drink before being served afternoon tea. Guests enjoyed some delicious treats provided by the Empire Café and Bakery, accompanied by festive music, games and delightful carol singing from pupils at St Nicolas School.
The Town Crier, Steve Wallis, acted as Master of Ceremonies and hosted a game of bingo and encouraged tables to take part in a Christmas quiz, with prizes won! Gifts were presented to the oldest gentleman and oldest lady present.
The Mayor of Newbury, Cllr Andy Moore, said “It was a delightful afternoon, filled with joy and positive energy. Guests shared fantastic feedback as they departed, and I personally enjoyed the event just as much as everyone else. It was a truly festive occasion, and we hope to continue this now annual tradition. A heartfelt thank you goes to all the staff, volunteers in Christmas jumpers, and to St. Nicolas Church for their incredible efforts in ensuring the day was enjoyable for all our guests.”
