WHITSTONE Chapel members have for many years sung Christmas carols around the village or in the village shop to raise money for charity.

This year it was suggested that they could host an event organised by Premier Christian Radio to attempt to create a Guinness World Record for the number of people singing carols at multiple venues.

To qualify members had to sing five carols — 'Silent Night', 'O Come All Ye Faithful', 'O Little Town of Bethlehem', 'Away in a Manger' and 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing' in 15 minutes between 7pm and 7.15pm.
