Did you see Southport's Christmas Light Vehicle Convoy?

ON Sunday, 4 December 2022, Creationnation Events Ltd, held the annual Christmas Light Parade. This event started at Pontins, in Ainsdale, then headed through Hillside and Birkdale, ending on Southport's Promenade. The event was possibly the biggest vehicle light convoy in the UK, this year. All those taking part helped to raise money and also donated toys and other goodies for Children's organisations all over the North West of England, including some within Sefton.

Right from the start, large crowds build up on Shore Road, Ainsdale and that continued all along the route and onto the Promenade. Sadly, on the route, 2 of the 4 voluntary Motorbike Marshals, who had volunteered to help had to leave the convoy, during the Parade. We are told 1 has since had to attend Hospital and we wish him a swift recovery. This years event, despite the few minor hick-ups, resulted in some of the Parade getting to the Promenade slightly before the main group. But this did not put off the many onlookers who flocked to line the Parades route, despite the cold and England playing that night in the World Cup.

These are just some of out photos we took at this event. Lots more photos can be viewed on the next few pages within this issue, along with more of our video footage, that we had taken along the Parade route...
