My 'flabber' is utterly 'gasted' I simply had no idea they were visible that far South and shall have to do some further research.
In the meantime Andy I've signed up to Lancasters site thanks
On Wednesday 11 April 2001 at about 2200 hours the aurora borealis could be seen at Lelant in the northern sky over the bay. The display lasted about half an hour. Lelant is at latitude fifty degrees, eleven minutes and it is unusual to see the display this far south. The display was particularly spectacular, the sky having a whitish arc, diffused red patches, then whitish streamers, then red patches again. A photograph of it at Lelant by James Adams was published in the Cornishman of 19 April 2001 and the Western Morning News 21 April 2001. An account by Maxwell Adams is in the St Ives Times and Echo 20 April 2001.
A further aurora borealis was seen in Lelant and its neighbourhood on 30 October 2003. A photograph and account of it is in Cornish world magazine for Winter 2003/2004.'
Not found another refference that far South (yet anyway)
Probably a ploy, just like the eclipse a few years back when the south coast bumped up accomodation prices in advance,
And then it clouded over in any event so it was all for nothing,
