Festival in 2009

Trees displayed by:

Our fifth Festival was held in December 2009 and if it can be said again it was the best yet! We had another fantastic response to our invitations and had a staggering 74 decorated trees in the Church, some were displayed at pew height and the rest at floor level. We were of course very grateful to all who brought and decorated a tree. At the start of the event, we invited David Smith, BBC Radio Gloucestershire Presenter and Alex Lovell, BBC Points West Presenter, to switch on the lights and a great time was had by all!
