On first name terms with the council deputy

 I was introduced to the President and deputy of the council at a festival in town. It is the Chestnut festival and it goes on for three days till 10pm on the first night/

I met the deputy to ask for permission to have a Christmas market on the 18th December. The deputy said yes but suggested we go to the original market because there is a huge stage like area we call all fit under.

This market is being held to raise money for the local bikers to buy toys and take them to local children. The bikers dress up in fancy dress when they drive there motor to deliver the toys.
