An evening of food and fundraising was held on Friday 15th February at the Hallgarth Hotel and Country Club, Darlington, for the Mayors’ Civic Dinner 2019.
The event was hosted by the Mayor, Councillor John Clark and was in support of his nominated charity for his year in office, the Great Aycliffe Cancer Support Group.
