Social event of the season.
- 24 January 2017 17:58323843Forget the Hunt Ball, Glyndebourne, Henley and Royal Ascot, for the small sum of £35 you can see the Mayor's ball. Best get in early as once news gets around black market prices will be astronomical.

Guest 1713 and howard mcsweeney1 like thisJack of Hearts - 25 January 2017 18:53323902So I take it from the comments above the 3 members are not lovers of our Mayor ?
So we can count on the 3 members above standing for the MAYOR of DOVER the next term????
:yesnod - 25 January 2017 19:05323904With all due respect you seem to have misread the light hearted nature of the thread Stu. I thought the old joke about the " Mayor's ball" would have indicated that.
Moving on I am sure you are aware that Town Councillors elect one of their own to be Mayor, not someone from the public. - 25 January 2017 21:02323907This my point Howard. People are all to quick to slate the Town Council. So why not join the Town council and you too can have a input toward bring Dover forward and maybe you could become Mayor one day. This what makes me laugh people slate the Town council but never wish to stand and help.
- 25 January 2017 22:28323910I am indebted to the confidence you have in me Stu but I can never be a Town Councillor for the following reasons.
a) No-one would vote for me as I am not a member of a political party, Independents like Keith and Neil can succeed as they were born here and spent their lives being known to people in town.
b) I would never allow someone unelected to tell me how to go about things.
c) I am not arrogant enough to think I would bring added value to the council chamber.
d) Endless meetings quite frankly bore the bottom off of me(sorry to be crude).
I will probably have further things to add later.Brian Dixon likes this - Jan Higgins

25 January 2017 22:59323911Agree with you Howard in my case I am way to old to put up with all the daft red tape, I also know my limitations.
I would want to virtually make a clean sweep of the top offices so I could run the place the way I would like without interference. In other words I would like to be a mini dictator which is something that would not go down very well.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
