AT THE end of our Mayoral Year we would like to thank all residents of the Borough of Fylde and the surrounding area for their support.

The Mayoral Charity Fund has reach over £23,000 and is expected to be in excess of £25,000 when all is added up. A sum of £7,500 has already gone to the Macmillan Windmill Appeal and donations to our other charities will be made in June.

Thanks are also due to all the organisations who invited us to visit them during the year and who made us so welcome. We have many fond and happy memories of our Mayoral Year 2003/2004.

With grateful thanks for all the support that we have received.

Cllr John and Mrs Joan Longstaff
