A házelnök a Cinque Ports Confederation elnöki és elsődleges képviselői szerepét tölti be. Ezt a megbecsült tisztséget automatikusan a főkikötők és két ősi város polgármestere tölti be. Ez az utódlás a „hetedik forradalom” néven ismert egyedülálló folyamatot követi,’ whereby the role transfers from one town to another on the 21st of May each year. For the current municipal year, 2023-2024, this honour has been bestowed upon Dover Town. The esteemed role of Speaker is now fulfilled by The Right Worshipful The Town Mayor of Dover and Speaker of the Cinque Ports, Cllr Susan Jones. The focal point of the year will be the upcoming Speakers Day, scheduled for Saturday, October 7th, 2023. During this event, all the Cinque Ports Mayors and various dignitaries will convene in Dover for a Civic Procession, followed by a ‘Thankyou & Recognition to the Sea Oration’ and RNLI Tug Boat Display.
