St Colomba Celtic Male Voice Choir rehearsal

Trelawny Challenge 2008

One of the biggest local fundraisers for the BBC Children in Need appeal returns this year. The Trelawny Challenge invites choirs, families, friends and individuals to join together to sing 'Trelawny' on Friday 7 November for Pudsey.

Almost £12,000 was raised last year as hundreds of people across pubs and clubs in Cornwall sang Trelawny in November 2007.

Now the organisers, The Cornish Federation of Male Voice Choirs, hope to repeat the success again this year raising thousands of pounds for Pudsey.

On BBC Radio Cornwall after the 9pm news summary Debbie McCrory and Joy Robinson will count down to the start of the challenge when everyone can join in at home, at the pub, or anywhere in Cornwall, and sing Trelawny.

If you take part you have to pay £1 per person who sings in the challenge.

The Federation of Male Voice Choirs in Cornwall is hoping that 20,000 Cornish men (and women and children) will join in and sing the great Cornish Anthem.

Listen for more on BBC Radio Cornwall on the Evening programme with Debbie McCrory from 7pm on Friday 7 November.
