Cllr Helen Simpson hosted the Mayor's annual carol service at St Lawrence's Church on Sunday 16th December. The Church was full and the congregation sang along to the usual carols with enthusiasm, with the music expertly provided by Hungerford Town Band. The lessons were read by the head boy and head girl of John O'Gaunt School, the Mayor, Nicholas Lumley and Catherine Wooliston.

This year's competition to draw a design for the order of service leaflet was won by Emilia Moore, age 8. She was presented with a prize during the service.
