IN celebration of Christmas, the Rotary Club of Westville has set up the much-loved Westville Nativity Scene at the intersection of St James Road and Kings Road.
On Sunday, December 4, a few residents joined the Rotary Club for its unveiling, and they sang carols.

The Westville Nativity Scene was launched in 2005 by local resident Helen Cannon. Over the years, it has become a beloved tradition, with many residents visiting the site with their children, snapping pics.
This year, Rotarians have, once again, invited the public to visit with their children, especially in the evenings when the lights are up.
“The place is guarded by JAG security so it is safe. The scene has endured much vandalism over the years and was once burnt to the ground, creating a need for an on-site security guard,” said Rotarian Geoff Dawson.
The scene was taken over by The Rotary Club of Westville in 2018 as a service to the community.
“The Westville Bowling Club provides us with electricity,” said another Rotarian, Steve Phaup, adding that they were grateful for all the sponsors who have helped set up the scene.
The Rotarians appealed to the public to keep the scene safe and untouched for all to enjoy.
