From the WMDC Press and Communications Office

Civic heads from across the region have been invited to meet Wakefield District's Mayor and Mayoress.

Representatives from voluntary, charity and local organisations from neighbouring authorities, including those across West and South Yorkshire, will also be among the 300 expected guests.

Wakefield District Mayor Cllr David Hopkins and Lady Mayoress Mrs Brigid Hopkins are hosting their second 'At Home' event at the town hall on Saturday April 29th.

Cllr David Hopkins said: "Having made many visits throughout the year, we want to return the hospitality. We have invited representatives from the organisations whose events we were privileged to attend."

He added: "Members of the public are also welcome to attend and we are very much looking forward to meeting as many local citizens as possible. We see it as a good opportunity to promote the civic profile of the district and the many local organisations which do so much good in the community."

Guests are invited to tea in the Kingswood Suite and musical entertainment in the Old Court Room, and can arrive anytime between 1pm and 4pm.

Organisations invited include parish councils, the Samaritans, Wakefield Harriers, Wakefield Society for the Blind, Friends of Wakefield Theatres, civic societies, scouts, brownies and guides as well as citizens from the Mayor's own ward and St. Peter's and St. Paul's Church.
