Councillor Afrin said: “It is an honour being Mayor of such a fantastic city and I have attended many functions and met many amazing and inspirational people.

“The Gala Dinner is a chance for people across the City to come together, to put on their ‘glad rags’ and have a ball. It’s going to be a wonderful event and this is an open invitation for anyone to come along and celebrate our great City. I look forward to seeing you.”

Money raised on the night will go towards Deafway, Galloways and St Catherine’s Hospice.

Tickets are £30 and can be purchased from the Guild Hall Box Office or calling the PNE sales office on 01772 80 40 50.
