Attended Mayor of Calderdale, Ann Martin's 'Italian night' in Julio's restaurant in Halifax yesterday, and sat next to Michael and Nikki, the Mayor and Mayoress of Todmorden. I've known Ann for years and characteristically she kept her speech to an absolute minimum (three sentences, I'd say). Turns out that Nikki works in pathology. Apparently, over the last decade, she's examined fewer and fewer bodies from Hebden Royd. I thought that was an interesting medical fact that might also be a sociological one too.
We get on really well together and plan to support one another's charity work. Michael's charities are the Todmorden Hippodrome and Independent Living, Todmorden.
I also had the pleasure of meeting old friends Megan and Tim Swift, Anne and Barry Collins, Margaret and Bob Metcalfe and Mohammed Naaem.
Formal meals aren't really my thing so I popped into the Fox and Goose afterwards and had a chat to Creedy, who plans to set up a community radio station over Le Tour weekend. I said I'd be happy to talk about my charities on air.
