ORGANISERS of the Christmas Tree Festival held at Rock Methodist Church in Yelverton have expressed thanks to everyone for their support and for turning out in appalling weather to view the beautifully decorated trees.

Attendance was slightly increased on last year and profits of almost £800 was collected and will be shared between ShelterBox and Rock Building Restoration Fund.

Congratulations to pupils at St Andrew's School, Buckland Monachorum, whose decorated tree was voted the most popular.
