CHRISTMAS Lights: Last Friday’s switching on of the Christmas Tree lights went very well with hundreds of people attending.

This year’s celebrities were Derek Moran, Chris Carswell and Rebecca Marks, who are all in Aladdin at The Anvil.

Local MP Sir George Young also wished everyone a happy Christmas, and the chairman of Tadley Town Council (me) also wished everyone a happy festive time.

I would like to thank all our sponsors for their contributions. Can I also give a big thank you to Nicki Barry, the town clerk.
