A successful coffee morning was staged today (Saturday) in the Angel Suite by the Town Mayoress and Mayoress, Coun Michael and Pat Doherty, helped by son Matthew and many other members of the the community.
The total raised has yet to be announced, but the proceeds will help the Lindsey Lodge and St Andrew's hospices - beneficiaries of this year's Mayoral Appeal Fund.
Coun Maureen Glossop took charge of the raffle, which offered a variety of prizes, and there were stalls (including some in the Courtyard), plus refreshments on sale. Background music was also provided.
The Mayor thanked everyone for their support, having wisely chosen to stage the event at the same time as the very popular farmers' market, going on in the nearby Market Place.
Dry weather helped ensure more people turned out than would have been the case if it was cold and wet.
