Back in Action!

Deputy Lord Mayor’s Blog 19

I’m pleased to say that I‘ve now been able to resume civic duties on the run-up to Christmas. This is always a busy and interesting time on the civic front.

Amongst other official duties, along with the Deputy Lady Mayoress I recently attended the annual Salvation Army charity concert in Symphony Hall. This was, as last year very impressive and the Army are to be commended for their dedicated work.

We also attended the Hospitals Choir Concert, also at Symphony Hall and also in aid of related good causes. This was of outstanding quality – look out for next year’s event.

We were also invited to a Nativity and Carol service put on by Calthorpe School at St Alban’s Church. This was a very special event in all senses – both staff and pupils were highly energetic and imaginative in their ‘children of the world, theme.

We are very lucky in Birmingham to have so many dedicated people who can do such good work and celebrate Christmas at the same time.
