Chamber of Trade

This is the first year of the new system for ordering Christmas Trees, and as mentioned, the Chamber of Trade have decided to use an ‘opt out’ system. This means that all trees that were put up in 2023 will automatically be done in 2024 unless we are told otherwise. if you wish to OPT OUT, please contact Kim Bradshaw klcotsecretary@outlook.com or pop into The Zero Pantry.

We are also asking for payment prior to the trees going up. Invoices will be created in September with a payment date of the 18th October 2024. The cost of the trees will remain the same as last year at £65 per tree. If you are a member of the Chamber of Trade (full year) this will be reduced by 50% as part of their benefit scheme. If payment is not received by 18th October 2024, we will assume you have opted out and a tree will not be ordered for you. Any trees requested after this date will incur an additional charge.

Finally, it would be appreciated if everyone could ensure that there is electricity close to the tree bracket. If you are sharing electricity with your neighbour, then please reach an agreement between yourselves.

If you did not have a tree last year and would like to be included in the 2024 celebrations, please contact Kim Bradshaw as soon as possible as per the details above.
