THE CHAIRMAN AND VICE CHAIRMAN OF THE COUNCIL ENGAGEMENTS

 

It is hoped that the following notes will be of assistance to you. They are fairly general, as there are many types of functions. Please do not hesitate to contact the Chairman's Office should you wish to discuss the function or obtain further advice especially on the matters raised below. Telephone: Joan McGregor on 01279 446001.

 

Timing: If your function is a dance; then half an hour or three quarters of an hour after the start would be appropriate for the Chairman/Vice Chairman to arrive. If a dinner is involved; about ten minutes beforehand in order to meet your officers. If a sports day; it is suggested that the Chairman/Vice Chairman should arrive in time for the finals and prize presentation.

 

Arrival: The Chairman/Vice Chairman should be met on arrival, escorted to his/her place, and the appropriate introduction made.

 

Precedence: The Chairman/Vice Chairman of the Council is the first citizen of the town, and has precedence in all places in the town, (except when the Queen or her representatives are present). Therefore the Chairman/Vice Chairman should be in the chair or on the immediate right of the person presiding. The precedence of the Chairman/Vice Chairman of the Council should also be reflected in the order of speech, presentation etc, as might be appropriate for the particular event.

 

Toast list or Agenda's:  A copy of the toast list or agenda showing the order of proceedings should be supplied as soon as the details have been finalised. If you wish the Chairman/Vice Chairman of the Council to speak, please also let him/her have details of the subject and points to which he should refer and the names of any person to whom reference should be made. It would also be helpful to have some background notes on your organisation, i.e. aims and activities.
