Thank you to @mayorofrushmoor for a wonderful Mayor's Ball on Friday evening, a great time was had by all @RushmoorCouncil @fcot

It was a pleasure to welcome some visitors from @RushmoorCouncil's sister city, Gorkha, Nepal to @fcot today. Great to develop existing international links with towns who have similar business & cultural interests to Rushmoor & I look forward to future working between our towns.

It was an honour to welcome @HackneyAbbott MP to @fcot yesterday to speak to our students as part of their projects on '100 Great Black Britons'. It was a particular honour for me to meet Ms Abbott as one of my inspirations when I came back to this country in 1988.
