C hristmas at W aldegrave
C hristmas tree sale
On Saturday 6th of December at Waldegrave, Mr Greaves, Duncan and Paddy came together to hold a festive Christmas tree sale of fresh Christmas trees, in partnership with Nordmann Firs to help the community prepare for the holiday season. A wide range of trees were available from 4 to 9 feet tall - we admire the effort of the helpers trying to fit such trees through the tree netting machine. From 30 presales and additional general sales topping it up to over £700, 25% has now gone towards a good cause - enriching the educational opportunities for all pupils at Waldegrave. Although shivering in the UK’s winter morning weather, many local families attended which created a cheerful, welcoming atmosphere. The additional Christmas music in the background helped keep the festive spirit alive as well. From earlier years they stated of having “experienced ongoing rain while trying to sell these trees”; however, this year, there was no sight of rain, which may have pitched into their cheers! Overall, this Christmas tree sale was a great success because it not only helped to bring the community together but also turned out to be a great charitable triumph. T’was a brilliant way to start the Christmas season.
