Christmas Lights-up Westgate
Well-done everyone involved in the organisation and switching on of the Christmas lights in Westgate yesterday afternoon. I have never seen so many people crammed into the village to eat roasted chestnuts, listen to music and welcome Father Christmas on his horse-drawn sleigh. Choosing community, warden, Tony Bailey, as the man with his finger on the switch, was also a great idea, as he's a universally recognised and popular figure among the residents.
It was a well-managed and great little event, mini-funfair included anda great credit to Westgate. Unfortunately, I have no photos but if anyone does, please send them in.

'Our' Tony was a great choice; he does a wonderful job around Westgate!
