9 December 2021 - Village Christmas Tree
Hi everyone,
Following on from the highly successful Coffee Morning which raised £250 for the Weymouth Food Bank comes some more good news just in time for Christmas. A little while ago Tamzin Hyde got in touch with the SP Society Committee. As you may know, she and Pete live in the village and own Trinity Street Christmas Trees, very busy at this time of year. In the past Pete used to donate a tree which was erected on the grass opposite Quackers, and I well remember singing carols in front of it, but this has not happened for a number of years after the Mission Hall erected its own tree. Tamzin said they would like to donate one of their lovely Trinity Street Christmas Trees, fifteen feet high with lights, to be located in a prominent place for everyone to enjoy. Of course this generous offer was accepted with alacrity but finding a suitable site, just off road and with an accessible power supply, took a little while. But now it is up in all its glory, as you will know if you have recently walked or driven through the village after dark, when you can see it at its best. It can (easily) be found outside No. 84 Sutton Road, tucked in the lee of the Cartshed opposite the Telephone Box. Jon who lives there cemented a pipe to hold it securely in place and now it really is a lovely sight, centrally placed. Thanks are due to Jon for his groundworks and supplying the power for the lights but even more thanks to Tamzin and Pete for their great generosity. It is another fine example of things being done by villagers for the village and makes me feel quite Christmassy.
Stay safe and smiling
Chris
