A warm welcome for our visitors from Newfoundland

Had a great meeting today at the Town Hall with Don Coombs, the Mayor of Harbour Grace in Newfoundland. Don has been staying here in Leicester with his wife, family and 55 football players from Newfoundland and Labrador all enjoying training, playing and watching football in and around Leicestershire. Don was telling the Lady Mayoress and I how much they were all enjoying their stay in the city. The group liked the shopping and were full of praise for the quality of the food in various restaurants.

Now of course and in its twentieth year, we have the Castle Park Festival underway with a whole variety of events and activities on offer. I was delighted to perform the launch ceremony at Newarke Houses Museum last Friday evening and recommend a visit to the Castle Park Festival website.
