The council appoints a new Mayor and Deputy Mayor every year at its annual meeting in May. Throughout the year the Mayor hosts a number of functions, many of which raise money for charity. Some of these functions are open to the public.

Mayoral facts:

• The office of Mayor dates back as far as A.D.451
• The title is derived from the French, 'Monsieur le Maire' and before that it probably originated from the Latin 'Major'
