Providing the
Christmas lights in Coverack each year is a real community effort. There
were fund raising efforts by the Bay Hotel with their Cheese and Wine
Party, and by the Paris Hotel with a curry night. The stalls raise funds
too on the evening when Santa visits our Christmas tree. This year there
was also a donation from Coverack Singers. Sadly Santa does not seem to
control the weather, and his visit was a wet one, but there was a good
turnout with the stalls doing well.

A team of helpers
is needed to get all of the special features assembled and in position.
Above you can see Brian, Malcolm, Bill, David, Alan Harry, Marcus, Richard,
John, and Tim checking to see that all the lamps are lighting up on
the Christmas Pudding. Do come and see the crown, the dolphins, the
mermaid, the bells, the boat, the candles, the trees, and the necklaces
of lights above the beach, as well as many other features.

Joan Kearsley took
this photo of the team pulling the Christmas tree into position, ready
for Clive to use his tractor to push it down into its pit. This year
it is a particularly large and handsome tree with new lights as you
can see below. More of the team are shown above, and the photograph
symbolises Coverack pulling together to achieve a worthy goal. If you
have not been before, do come and enjoy a lovely display of Christmas
lights in a unique setting.
