Fundraising for the new mayor's charities kicked off with a curry night at the Blue Mint restaurant in Epsom.
Councillor Neil Dallen and 56 supporters raised £550 at the recently extended restaurant in Waterloo Road for his chosen charities - Girlguiding, Talking Newspaper for the Blind and Work Stress Solutions.
He is inviting people to buy tickets to his next fundraising night - a race night at the Playhouse, part of the Derby Festival week - which will have bubbly, a buffet and prizes of up to £50.
