On 22nd December, about 50 hardy souls gathered around the tree in the pouring rain to sing carols. Residents very much appreciate all that Steve and Mary McInally put into this event: booking Ocean Brass, covering the large tree on the top corner of Ethelburt Avenue with lights, erecting a marquee to keep the musicians dry, not forgetting all the publicity and producing carol-sheets. Next year, they promise to provide fine weather as well.
