Hello and welcome to my new blogspot. My name is Adrian Edwards and it is my honour to be the 411th Mayor of Newbury. Here I am pictured in my full Mayoral robes with my Mayoress Edwina Cooper. It is my second time as Mayor of this town and it will be my pleasure to record and explain the numerous roles of a modern day Mayor. I hope you will enjoy reading this online diary as much as I am sure that I am going to enjoy carrying out my civic duties. If there is anything you wish to query or indeed if you would like me to attend a function that you are organising, have no hesitation in contacting my Civic Manager Joyce Lewis on 01635 41583. Thank you once again for sparing your time.

Britain in Bloom

I had the pleasure of meeting the two judges who were visiting Newbury to judge the town in the Britain in Bloom competition. They were Mr Mike Gass who comes from Abingdon, and and Ms Kate Dagnall from Bracknell.

Ms Dagnall was impressed with the Town Hall and the Mayoral Chain. I gave her a potted history of both, which hopefully put her in a good frame of mind, before going out to look at the town and its floral decorations at the key areas of the town.

This was one of the rare occasions when there was no rain. Hopefully that will also be a positive influence in their adjudicating.
