The Mayor of Ferryhill, Councillor Carole Atkinson, held her first charity event of the year on Friday 19th August, and what better way to start than with an Elvis Tribute Night at Ferryhill WMC. Entertainment was provided by Mark ‘Elvis’ Nixon, who, as always provided fabulous entertainment. The evening raised a fantastic amount of £906.
This will be divided between the Mayor’s chosen charities, Endeavour Woodcrafts and Ferryhill LADDER Centre. Mayor, Cllr Carole Atkinson said after the event: “I am over the moon with the amount raised for my chosen charities. This was the first event I have organised as Mayor of Ferryhill and I am overwhelmed by the support I have received from the local people. I would like to thank everyone who came along to see Elvis, to those who donated prizes, to the staff and Committee at Ferryhill Workingmen’s Club for all their help, to everyone who helped make the evening a success and last but not least, thanks to Mark ‘Elvis’ Nixon, it was a brilliant night!”
Events coming up include a coffee morning in St Luke’s Church Hall on Saturday 17th September, from 11am until 1pm. Entry will cost £2.
A Halloween Quiz Night will take place at Ferryhill British Legion on Friday 28th October, from 7pm until 11pm, tickets will cost £10 each and include a hot beef sandwich.
