November parish magazine for 2023-2

This year’s St Andrew’s Christmas Tree Festival will take place from the evening of Friday 8^th December to Saturday 16th December.

Proceeds from this year’s festival will be split between St Andrew’s Church and Helen & Douglas House – a local hospice for children living with life-limited and terminal conditions and their families.

We have 30 beautiful Christmas Trees inside the church available for local  ‘Tree Angels’ to decorate. Hopefully, you will be one of them! Our optional decoration theme for church trees this year is ‘All Creatures Great and Small’.  As always, your tree will be subject to the public’s scrutiny and votes and the favourite will receive the TreeFest trophy which will be announced at the finale on the afternoon of Saturday 16th December. To sign-up please use the form available on this website.

As has been the custom in recent years, we are also offering villagers in both Hagbournes the chance to join in the festival by placing one of our live, 4ft Norwegian Spruce Christmas Trees in their front gardens and lighting it up for the duration of the festive period.  This is a tradition that we started during the pandemic and has proved so popular that we have continued it ever since. Trees for your garden can be reserved for £26.00.  To order, all you have to do is complete the form downloadable from this page and send it (or an email with the relevant info) to us along with payment. That’s important – your order is not confirmed until payment is received, sorry.

Trees will be available to collect from The Pavilion in East Hagbourne on Wednesday 6 December – more details after you are happily signed-up..

Thank you for everyone’s participation.  Here are the survey results:

Our Pavilion and Recreation Ground needs your help.

We urgently need volunteers to keep our Pavilion at Great Mead running,

To handle bookings, maintenance, safety inspections, and to act as keyholders.

We particularly need help with accounts following the retirement of our Treasurer after many years service.

The Recreation Ground and Pavilion are owned by East Hagbourne Parish Council and managed by volunteers through the East Hagbourne Sport & Recreation Committee.

If you can help in any way, please contact us via easthagbournepavilion@gmail.com or through the Parish Clerk.

David Rickeard: Chairman, EHSRC.
