Burnham-On-Sea
Mayor formally appoints new council VIPs
 Burnham-On-Sea's
Mayor, Peter Clayton, officially named several important council
positions on Monday evening (June 2nd).
Tom
Barker was officially confirmed as the Mayor's Cadet and Christine
Judson, Curate of St John's Church in Highbridge, became the Mayor's
Chaplain.
Christine
is seen here being handed the council's red 'stole', an embroidered
red band of cloth, while Tom was presented with a cadet's badge
to mark the start of his new role.
 Burnham's
former Mayor, Pauline Pollard, was also presented with the Past
Mayor's Badge by Cllr Clayton before Monday evening's council
meeting.
Pauline
broke a bone in her shoulder during a garden accident last month
and was unable to attend May's council meeting when she would
normally have received the badge.
In
a short speech, Cllr Clayton payed tribute to her "excellent
work" over the past year.
"You
have served with honour and dignity and have been a credit to
Burnham-On-Sea and Highbridge," he said.
