Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, you’re going up ridiculously early!

This was the earliest date we've ever put the Christmas decs up at Senior! A group ran from Glass Mill and the rest of us met up at Seniors ready to put the decs up in advance of their Christmas Fair at the weekend.

It's one of our favourite tasks of the year and it did not disappoint as we had brand new trees, not just one but three brand new trees. And new tinsel, and new lights but not new baubles.

Gone are the days having to carefully balance the trees to ensure they stay up and trying to fill the gaps with the bits of tinsel we could find. This year the trees looked even more spectacular than usual.

Not forgetting the excellent team work from Jenny and Lindsay to make sure the garlands were evenly spaced across the ceiling!!

We met on a chilly evening at old Spike and after a quick warm up we ran 3k over to Old Alleyian Rugby club. We had a few tasks to help Ian with which included moving cement bags, clearing the group behind the club house, sewing grass seed and shovelling sand into wheelbarrows. We got a lot done and were rewarded with some choccies before running back and heading to the Nags head for a well deserved drink and chin wag.
