The Christmas Lighting Trophy

The trophy for the Christmas Lights has been engraved on glass by Malcolm Smith of Manx Rockcraft and Celtic Engravings.

Malcolm has engraved other glass trophies for the commissioners in the past including the reproduction of the Onchan Crest.

2005 Competition

This year's competition differed from previous competitions in so much that Onchan was divided into 10 areas and each commissioner was allocated an area to judge and make three nominations for the domestic properties and list whatever commercial properties were in their area. All these results were passed to the Chairman of the Board and the Chairman of the Leisure and Amenities Committee for final judging.

Winner of the commercial prize, Richard Prouse of Corkill's Forecourt Services receives the trophy from Chairman of the Commissioners, Gordon Astill. Corkill's Forecourt Services won the commercial section in 2003 and therefore were not eligible for judging last year.

Winner of the domestic properties was Mr & Mrs G.A. Cox of 5 Marina Close, Ballachurry Park. Mr Cox is captured receiving the trophy outside his property from Gordon Astill the Chairman of the Board.

2004 Competition

The 2004 competition was judges on entries made which only represented a very small percentage of properties in Onchan displaying external light displays.

Winner of the domestic property section was Stuart Hampson of 2 Marine View Close and in the commercial section was A Touch of Class, of 1 Avondale Court (proprietor Mrs S.E. Hine).
