MORE than 100 people gathered at the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club's carol concert to sing their hearts out and witness the presentation of cheques to two local charities.

The concert was led by the Cadgwith Singers under the baton of David Muirhead.

The club presented £1,750 to Helston-based charity ShelterBox and £1,750 to Blind Sailing Week.

Christine Drummond presented a cheque to George Curnow and Sue Bellingham, of ShelterBox and commodore Nick Barwell presented the cheque to Tan Lumby, of Blind Sailing Week.
