Thought I would just mention that a member off this forum is the Mayor of Hyndburn for the next 12 months, Judith Addison was installed as the mayor this week, I would like to wish Judith all the best for the next 12 months, knowing Judith like I do I'm sure she'll do an excellent job representing our borough and spreading the good name of Hyndburn everywhere she goes, good luck Judith
 
Thanks for your good wishes, folks! I have been very busy so far! Was made Mayor at the Council's A.G.M. Thursday evening and chaired the meeting - somewhat stormy in parts! Yesterday was Civic Celebration Day with meeting in the Council Chamber at 10.30 a.m., followed by Parade in the rain to St. James' Church for Civic Service, then parade back in the rain to Town Hall for Civic Lunch. Today I did the Church & Ossy Rotary Sponsored Walk and then went to Altham Parish Council Civic Service. If you're on Facebook I now have a "Mayor of Hyndburn" page.
 
so, what power do you have in teh council meetings... can you start banging heads of the chilldren together and tell them to grow up?

congrats on the role though

This thread reminded me that I was once a Mayor:eek: Mayor of the thriving community of Meyronne, Saskatchewan.:theband:

Meyronne, Saskatchewan - YouTube

When I was Mayor back in, oh, around '74, it was much bigger ... 95 souls.:D Originally a thriving pioneer community, it is now a little rough around the edges,;) another victim of progress and centralization in a Province booming with wheat, oil, potash, and uranium. I still love Saskatchewan, Land of the Living Skies.:theband:
 
I assume thats Meyronne 2013 Eric? Reminds me of the U.K. 2013, Have the Tories been in power quite a while yon?;)

I had this conversation with Judith the other day :)

Let's see how good my memory is. The mayoress is indeed the lady who accompanies a male mayor, ( I don't think they need to be married).

A female mayor's male partner would be the consort ( I think)

Strangely enough, Judith had the option of being addressed as Mr Mayor if she chose to do so, not suprisingly she chose the option of Madam Mayor :D
