Also thanks to those fellow councillors, family and friends who also gave prizes and/or volunteered to help on the stall on the switch on evening.

Thanks also go to the Royal Standard, Greys of Ely, Gill Insulation, 4th Dimensions Dance and Waitrose for sponsoring the event.

I would like to take this opportunity in thanking the Christmas Lights Committee members, council staff.

Also thanks to the Christmas lights and switch on volunteer teams, headed by Mike Chinery-Colyer and Ian Newstead respectively.

They give a great deal of time and energy in making this a successful annual event for Ely.

Without them the Christmas lights and switch on evening would not be possible.
