We have received notification of three TPOs being placed on trees in the area of the Farthings. If you have a comment, please contact those named at South Norfolk Council in the letter below within the next two weeks, i.e. by 12 February 2025.
For the fourth year in a row we have had a Christmas tree decorated and lit for the festive season at the Reading Room. Feedback has been positive and many are pleased to see Wreningham’s Christmas Tree return for another year: “Looking the best this year. Simply lovely.”
50 people of all ages gathered at the Reading Room for the great switch-on, singing of carols and meeting Father Christmas. It was a grand, highly spirited occasion as everyone joined in with gusto and kept in tune despite my lead singing efforts.
The Parish Council has sponsored each tree and remains hugely proud and pleased with those who work hard to prepare for the great day. It is a team effort, our thanks go to:
- All the Mums, Dads, Children and everyone else for being there and joining in
- Nick, Keith, Davis and Mason selected the tree and brought it back
- Andrew trimmed the tree and positioned it in the ground
- Andrea and Hughie added the baubles and strings of lights
- Several children finished off the decorating with their own touches and more baubles
- Father Christmas – easily the main attraction (besides the tree!)
- Noel looked after lights.
