WE are reliably informed that the hot ticket to have in November is to the Mayor of Bolton's charity buffet lunch.

This is because the last one, held recently, was a sell-out and raised £680. It was such an enjoyable occasion that the Mayor, Cllr Alan Wilkinson and Mayoress, Mrs Denise Wilkinson, were encouraged to host another for the Gift of Life campaign which boosts kidney transplants.

The next lunch date is on Sunday, November 19, 12 noon to 2pm at Dunscar Conservative Club. Tickets for this popular buffet lunch event are £5 for adults, £3 for children under 12, available from the Mayor's Office if you ring 01204-331090.
