MADAM – We would like to thank the community of Stroud and surrounding district for taking part in the stunning tenth Christmas tree festival which took place in Stroud parish church and for coming to see the magnificent display.

It has been a time of joy and happiness to see so many faces brighten up when they enter the church and see all the decorated trees which have been displayed by so many talented people in our community.

It is a real tribute to this town that so many people are willing to join together to use their talents to create this joint venture which gives so much pleasure to so many.

People come from many miles around to see the festival each year; and the number of trees just keeps growing.

So thank you to everyone for another really successful event and we look forward to seeing you all again at next year’s festival.

Mike and Toni Lambert
