There was a good turn out at this year's Civic Service, which was followed by sumptuous refreshments at Ross Bowling Club.

The service included the hymns, 'How Great thou Art' and 'Eternal Father Strong to Save'. The Reverend Sarah Jones' sermon was built around the reading from Ecclesiastes'All is Vanity', describing it as a most depressing piece. She said that its message is that although everything is the same and we are all brothers and sisters, we each have a role to play, the Councillors have to govern Ross properly and do their best for the town.

The Mayor David Ravenscroft said that he was very pleased by the turnout and thanked everyone who supported him on the day, especially the Town Clerk and Deputy Clerk
