A new electricity Supply box has to be manufactured to supply the "Merry Christmas" and "Father Christmas" displays at very top of the village. This supply box is site specific and is a bespoke design. It will be manufactured by one of our volunteer electricians. The total cost of the project is estimated to be around £500 and we have received a kind grant from the Local Council towards this cost. Although you will not actually see any difference because of this project it is necessary due to Health and Safety. The New Supply has been installed and is working - thanks to Penwith Electrical for building it for us.
Our old Church on the New Quay is getting very old and maintenance is becoming high. We have allocated a team to replace it with a totally new lightweight metal frame and Low Voltage lamps. This means that not only will it be easier to erect, it will be stronger, safer and use less energy due to the use of the Low Voltage power system. The current (Original) Church was made in the mid 1980's and manufactured from Wood with mains lampholders/cable and erected on scaffolding. It has had several repairs over the years including a major repair following a severe storm which occured the night before switch on back in 1989. The waves crashing over the Quay and into the structure smashed the frame and bent the scaffolding tower used to support the church.
We have been awarded a Grant of £180 towards the cost of replacing the church from the BT Community Champions Award Scheme. One of our Technicians is a BT employee and BT Community Champions awards BT people with funding on behalf of local community groups, charities and organisations where they work on a voluntary basis.
Our new Low Voltage Church has been installed and is looking splendid. Many thanks to he hard work of the team that built it.
