The Mayor of Shildon, Councillor Peter Quinn, along with his consort Shirley, held his final engagement as Mayor on Thursday 10th April at the Civic Hall.
The evening was a Quiz Night with a sausage and chips supper, plus a raffle.
All proceeds from the event will be added to the Mayor’s funds, which will then be divided equally between his chosen charities; The British Legion and Children’s Cancer.
The evening raised £623 which will bring his total funds raised to around £2,000.
He commented, “I am delighted with the turn-out at my final fundraising event, and was especially honoured that 12 other Town Mayors from the area found the time to come along and support me.
“During my year in office it has been an honour and a privilege to serve the people of the town and I would like to thank everyone who has supported me during my term as mayor.”
Peter hands over the reins to a new mayor on 12th May.
