May5th Presented a pennant to the Commodore of the Lyme Regis sailing club from the sailing club of Bermuda.
May7th As Mayor I started the Duck Race as always it was very well supported I did not know it then but it was to be my last duty as Mayor of Lyme Regis .
May9th attended Bournemouth eye hospital and given the news that I had to have two more eye operations and given two dates for them. One on the 24th May and the other on the 21st June. I am sure most of you will understand the significances of these dates? I was not offered one more year as Mayor but would not have taken it if it had been offered. But it would have been nice to have had the chance of refusal if I had wanted to . ! In talking to the consultant it was obvious that something had to be done sooner rather than later.
May14th attended the AGM of the Twinning Association .
May16th attended Lyme Regis Area Partnership meeting (Lyme Forward)
May 17th/18th I went to Birmingham for a two day meeting with representatives from the National Association of Local Councils (NALC)
With the changes in Local Government it is essential that organisations change with it and have an understanding of the situation this obviously includes the Councils and local organisations. The new planning regulations are a perfect example. Unfortunately due to this meeting I was unable to attend two Council meetings.
