Children from Coverack School singing Christmas Carols to a big audience on 9th December 2023.

Here you can see the large number of people gathered to listen to the Coverack School children singing.

On Tuesday 5th December the senior citizens Christmas party was held in the Lambeage Hall, Coverack.
About forty-eight people sat down to enjoy the meal together.  We were entertained by the children from Coverack School who sang songs for us.

The 22nd August brought sunshine on castle builders and sand sculptors.  The competition was organised by Helen, coodinator of Coverack Space 2000.  Some of the entries are shown below.

On the morning of Good Friday a cross was made on the sand of Coverack beach.
Many people took part, carrying stones and pebbles to form the cross.

But do you know where they are growing?

261 people took part from the harbour,  and a few more joined in from the beach.  Being low tide, swimmers had to wade out beyond the harbour wall to enjoy their swim in water at 12 degrees C.  The £1,390 raised on the day goes to Cancer Research UK.  Thank you to all who swam, and their sponsors.

The children come with their lanterns to sing a carol to Patricia Bruce at Granville.  You can see Patricia watching from the window upstairs.

The team of helpers was ready when Ben Richards arrived with a tall slender tree.
It was soon put into  its usual spot near the harbour, by the phone box, ready for the
Coverack Christmas Tree event on Saturday 10th December.

Two ladies are swimming across to Coverack Harbour, with their happy voices floating across the calm sea.

Two planes overhead, almost meet over Coverack Bay,  carrying their passengers to places far away.   -  Why leave?

A black textile layer is being put in place, going down below beach level.
Swing shovels are placing large boulders on it, to hold it in place.

This is the first of four loads of 1600 tonnes of granite. It comes from the Lawer Brother's quarry at Long Downs, and is pictured on 17th August
