On December 21st, at very short notice, over 80 people including MP David Burrows, a number of small children and at least 4 dogs, gathered to sing carols around the newly planted tree. The vicar Fr Chrichton Limbert provided the words and led the proceedings, whilst members of Christ Church choir led the singing.
Carol singing around the tree is planned to be an annual event, and next year far more notice will be given.
