A team of 20 to 30 villagers helped to put up the Christmas lights in Coverack as the Coverack Christmas Tree Committee celebrated its 40th anniversary.

 

"Who put these away in a tangle last year?"

Sorting out the lights for the tree.

Coverack has been illuminated since 11th December when the Coverack Christmas tree event took place. Chairman of the Christmas Tree Committee Roy Cole, introduced Barbara Elson who switched on the lights for the tree. Santa made his usual visit with gifts for the children, on a sleigh drawn by a pony. Entertainment was provided by the St Keverne and Coverack Brownies, the Cober Valley Accordion Band, and Illumination Brass, conducted by Ian Edwards. The event was enjoyed by a large crowd in unusually kind weather conditions.
