Savills team (l-r) George Hill, Chris Clifford, Rosey Murphy and Michael Pennington.

When our Chairman, Caroline Tetley, initiated the CHCT Christmas Drinks Party I am sure she never conceived how popular it would become.

The generosity of Elizabeth Fortescue at Boconnoc and Caroline and Richard Williams at Scorrier in offering stunning venues on alternate years has meant that the Party reaches most of the Cornwall and its lengthy geography.  This year we were able to attract guests spanning nine separate decades.  The youngest, Master Barnaby Hodgson, declared after handing around canapes that it was ‘not too bad after all’ and he would be keen to return in 2020.  Praise indeed.

We are so grateful to Savills who have been the most generous Sponsors of this event and the team on the night is massively helpful to the CHCT committee.  This year over £6,000 was raised.

Susie Gore galvanised her team once again to produce the most mouth-watering canapés and plenty of them!  The kitchen is always great fun on the night and Susie has us brilliantly organised.
