EAST Sussex County Council’s Chairman was among guests entertained by a cast of talented singers, dancers and actors at Polegate Mayor’s Reception.

Cllr Roy Galley was among community leaders, representatives and local dignitaries invited to the event on Saturday, November 1.

He said: “This fabulous event supported Cllr Dan Dunbar’s ongoing efforts to support local charities and build on the strong community connections across Polegate and the wider county.

“Once again, we saw a fantastic range of abilities from a fine cast ranging from teenage to older performers. It was a lively and professional performance which shows again the rich life and talent we have in East Sussex”.

Mayor, Cllr Dunbar, hosted the evening of networking, recognition, and entertainment, in support of his chosen charity – East Sussex Wildlife Rescue, and other causes championed during the Mayor’s time in office – Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance and Children with Cancer Fund.

Following a reception, guests enjoyed a performance from the Polegate Drama Group, who presented ‘A Night at the Musicals’.

Speaking at the reception, the Mayor said: “It was wonderful to see so many dedicated people come together in support of these incredible organisations. Each of these charities plays a vital role in our community from saving lives and protecting wildlife to supporting families through some of their most difficult times.

He added: “Polegate Drama Group once again showcased the remarkable talent we have in our town. Their performance was the perfect way to end a memorable evening celebrating all that makes our community so special.”
