Christmas Carol Concerts

Cold Carol Comfort

Cold and snow couldn't deter over 100 people from attending a carol concert outside BP House Hemel Hempstead on Wednesday 20 December 1978.

Division manager Harry Cordwent brushing snow from his hands and music was the able accompanyist on an electric organ and Ron Cowie conducted the choir. After renderings of traditional carols the frozen crowd adjourned for mince pies and hot punch.

The event now has a firm place in Hemel's social calendar and this year managed to raise £30.
