Mayor highlights bid to help Hale in Farnham Civic Service
Farnham Herald - 21st Sep 2025
Cllr George Murray talked enthusiastically about wanting to help Sandy Hill and north Farnham during the civic service. There was laughing in the aisles at the weekend as the mayor of Farnham enthused about football, firing cannons and the fun of being a mayor.
But Cllr George Murray also used the Civic Service to highlight the town’s north-south divide and to “shine a light” on the work being done by the mayor’s charity.
Key townspeople and dignitaries from Farnham, Waverley and further afield were among the dozens who gathered in St Andrew’s on Sunday for Farnham’s Civic Service. The one-hour service included a stunning rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone by Kevin Sampson of FOAS, a reading by Hale youth worker Robbie Eggleton, and Cllr Murray making the promises of office.
But the centrepiece of the event was an interview led by Revd David Uffindell where Cllr Murray talked about his concierge past and how he became a town councillor.
Cllr Murray (taking part in a tug of war at the recent Sandy Hill Family Fun Day) has made the Hale Community and Youth Centre his mayoral charity
He blamed Cllr John Ward for “press-ganging him” before talking about the joy of being mayor after being elected to the position six months ago. He said: “Everyone is so generous and people are really pleased to see you – the last six months have been absolutely incredible.”
But there was also poignancy, with Cllr Murray citing a trip to Sandy Hill with Farnham Town FC chairman Harry Hugo as one of the reasons he made Hale Youth Club Community Centre his mayoral charity. He said: “We were handing out end of season awards to their little community football team. “You go to south Farnham and they’ll have FA coaching and everything, but these kids had nothing. And these little badges they were given, it really moved me. “I look at the people at Hale and the work they do to try and improve people’s live a little bit, so I wanted to shine a light. Hopefully I can make a little difference.”

Sandy Hill was buzzing with energy last weekend (13th September) as families flocked to the Field for a day of fun, connection, and community pride. The annual 'Family Fun Day' proved a real crowd-puller, with residents of all ages enjoying traditional games and lively stalls.
Adding a touch of northern charm, the Farnham Town Council Mayor - George Murray - joined the festivities, showing off his trademark grit and good humour as he mingled with locals and lent his support to the event!
The field was alive with activity, laughter, and the unmistakable spirit of Sandy Hill. It was a celebration of togetherness - proof that when the community comes out in force, magic happens!
