Driffield Town Council has agreed to donate £600 to the annual Old Folks Tea at Driffield School.
The sum was decided with a view to covering the insurance needed for the event so that Driffield School could allow it to be held. Additionally, it was intended to help towards entertainment costs and transportation costs.
Old Folks Tea is held every year for people over the age of 70 and turned 70 itself in 2015. It was held on 11 December last year and was attended by Driffield mayor, councillor Matt Rogers. Coun Rogers said that the event was great and that the people there “loved me dishing out the teas.”
