Carnoustie Coastguard Association
CCA was founded in the early 80's at the time Carnoustie Coastguard started their first bonfire in front of the station for family and friends. It became popular with residents year after year, quickly outgrowing it's original location and for safety reasons had to be moved to it's current location at the 'Black Slab', now in conjunction with the Gala Committee's 'Torchlight Parade' this event has become one of Carnoustie's main events of the year but this event only takes place due to the generosity of the residents as we receive no outside financial help. All the association work is done outwith our official duty to HM Coastguard. We are a registered charity in Scotland and have taken part in fundraising for a variety of organisations including Rebecca House, Children with special needs and Handicapped swimming clubs, more recently Carnoustie Coastguards have taken part in a sponsored walk to raise funds for 'Help for Hero's'. The Coastguard team here in Carnoustie also act as waiters at the annual Pensioners Christmas and Burns supper nights at the British Legion. We ask and thank you for your continued support for the 'Coastie Bonfire Night'.
