The Christmas trees
and all the decorations in the Church have now been cleared away,
hopefully we will have more trees next Christmas.
Many thanks to all
the volunteers who helped to erect and decorate the 26 large trees,
run all the Christmas stalls and do all the catering, and finally
removing the trees and cleaning up the church.
Also a special
thanks to all the people and organisations that sponsored the trees
The two day
Christmas tree festival was again a huge success with approximately
500 attending the celebration. Many thanks to the pupils of
Farnborough Road Infant and Junior Schools for switching on the
lights and providing excellent entertainment during the festival.
Also thanks for the brilliant performances provided by the Talent
Factory’s young singers.
