Last year, Newhaven ran a Maritime festival for the first time. It was very successful.

Last Saturday, a Fish festival was put on with even greater success.

A great many people visited (1,500-2,000 perhaps) and the whole event was enjoyed enormously.

Although many people contributed in some way to the event, major credit must go to Councillor Graham Amy and Sally Foote who worked tremendously hard and spent sleepless nights to put it all together.

As I would like to thank them most sincerely for all their efforts on Newhaven's behalf.

-Jo Lewry, Mayor of Newhaven
