Other useful information:
Protocol states that when introducing the Mayor at your event, please address her as Town Mayor of Stowmarket, Councillor Mrs Debbie Ball.
Due to high demand it may not be possible to attend every event to which the Town Mayor or Deputy Town Mayor is invited.
Invitations are generally accepted on a first come first served basis.
To avoid disappointment, the more advance notice you give the better.
The Mayor should be met and officially welcomed at a function by senior members of the organising body.
The Mayoress/Consort is usually seated with the Mayor when accompanying him/her, but has no standing within the Town.
The Mayor, during his/her term of Office, remains impartial and is unable to attend or become involved in any political or contentious matters.
When the Deputy Mayor is representing the Mayor, the same precedence, which applies to the Mayor, should also be given to the Deputy Mayor.
