The ships remained at Sovereign Harbour for two nights and the crews from the four ships joined the Mayor for a reception in the Mayor’s Parlour.

The Sea Cadets held a gun-pull on the seafront on Easter Monday to raise funds for the Mayor’s Charity. This was a great success and raised over £300 for the charity. Also held in aid of the Mayor’s Charity was a concert by the Renaissance Singers. This was a wonderful evening of singing and raised another £300 for the charity.
On 23 April the Mayor made a visit to Ocklynge School and spoke to the pupils about his role as Mayor, and the Mayoress spoke about Alzheimer’s and the Alzheimer’s. The following day the pupils held a mufti-day in aid of the Mayor’s Charity and were delighted to present a cheque for over £800.
