THE Mayor of Cheshire East Council, Clr George Walton, is just weeks away from hosting one of the biggest bashes in his diary – the Mayor’s charity ball.

Around 300 guests are expected to attend this exclusive event to raise money for his chosen charities.

The event, at the historic Tenants Hall, within the stately grounds of Tatton Park, takes place on Friday, September 14.

The Mayor’s chosen charities are East Cheshire Hospice, in Macclesfield, and the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA) – in particular the Crewe and Nantwich and Congleton branches.

Members of the council will be supporting the event, as will council officers.

Clr Walton, who lives in Knutsford, said: “It would be great if we could really push the boat out and raise as much money as possible for these wonderful charities.

“It would be great if all 300 tickets were sold so now is the time to book your place and pledge your support.”

To book tickets call the Mayor’s office and speak to Nicola Carberry on 01270 686475.
