The doors were opened 10 minutes early on Wednesday 6th December, to allow a lady in a wheelchair and her carer to come and see the trees. Lots and lots of folk have come in, even a couple arrived at the door as the congregation was filing out on Sunday after the Carol Service, just to look at the trees!

There is just about 40 trees this year, with many from organisations, including the Library, Tenby’s Social Activity Centre at the Avenue with a Tenby Harbour Tree; and the Tenby Friendship Club with Anne’s Choir of Teddy Bears, The Soroptomists, and the Welsh Cake Ladies.

The Craft Group “Bootful” Tree was full of baby’s booties knitted or crocheted by members. This festival runs for the whole of December, and is looked forward to by so many locals and visitors. It is a great way of welcoming folk into the Church. Visitors averaged about 20 per day. One visitor came back several times and played the organ and the piano to the enjoyment of folk coming in to look. The children always thought the best tree was the one that snowed. Some adults liked the recycled tree from last year. Anne Maggs is to be thanked for all the hard work in the organisation, and from her helpers in decorating the whole church.
