Greetings from your tree and lighting committee representative. Our 2010 campaign has started with a flourish – all 30ft of it!
Hempstead resident, Jonathan Neville (pictured with our Chairman, Esme) has kindly donated a tree that has outgrown its current location but will be given prime place at our War Memorial in November. Check out Jonathan’s informative website at www.norfolkmills.co.uk.
Fundraiser still wanted!!!
We are still without a fundraiser with a £20k target to raise.
The lights switch on may be a single evening, but the lights and decorated trees remain cheerily in place for six weeks till 12th night in January.
All six Committee members are standing in their fourth and final year, serving the local retail and wider public to give Holt this superb winter event. Anyone coming forward to fill our places should ideally shadow us this year to take over next. My role begins in January, obtaining quotes for the contract of communal lighting. I attend monthly Committee meetings, liaise with our contractors, order trees, answer lights related questions from retailers and assist on the switch-on night. All necessary contacts and timescales are already established and laid down in our comprehensively compiled Working Brief.
You’re welcome to visit me at The Tannery in Bull Street to discuss this exciting opportunity to join a well established community event Committee, one that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed.
I look forward to working with someone through this year’s event, Sarah Tribe, Lights Liaison and Christmas Trees, Holt Lights Committee.
Manager, The Tannery, Bull Street, Holt.

Triss, the switch on date is Wednesday 24th November 2010. This is shown at the top of every page in yellow text under the title.
Hi Moira, Josh here (the website operator). There are 3 car parks near to the town centre – I would recommend using Albert Street but this does fill up quite quickly. You can find this easily on Google. Try using Google Maps and you should be able to identify the position of the 3 car parks quite easily. If you require further information I would highly recommend speaking to Di Dann (Community Liaison Officer) holttown@tiscali.co.uk, telephone 01263 712149. She will be able to help you much better than I can. She’s a lovely lady!
