NEW YEAR MESSAGE 2002 FROM INTERNET BENCH

The following message is emailed from the world’s first MSN Internet Bench in the Abbey Gardens, Bury St Edmunds.

“Happy New Year from the Internet Bench in Bury St Edmunds!

“I am now over half-way through my year as Mayor of St Edmundsbury and would like to thank everyone for their support for myself and my charities.

“As well as welcoming visitors in person, through initiatives like this MSN Internet Bench we are also able to reach out to a worldwide audience of ‘cyber-tourists’.

“My wish for 2002 is that time starts to heal the wounds of 2001. Here in the Borough of St Edmundsbury we look forward to continuing the special links with our American friends.

“One of the joys of being Mayor is the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life. I look forward to meeting many more of you in the coming months.

“With all good wishes for 2002,

Councillor Brian Bagnall
Mayor of St Edmundsbury”
