Southgate Green's new Christmas Tree before installation of lights. It will be officially inaugurated on 20th December
The Southgate Green Association (SGA) will today be singing in an impressive new "Christmas Tree" - an 18-foot Norwegian Spruce - with the help of the choir from neighbouring Christ Church, augmented by anyone else who would like to come along and join in. The ceremony and carol singing will start at 6.30pm.
SGA was able to buy and plant the tree thanks to the generosity of a local resident, plus funds from the Council and some of the Association's own money. SGA Chairman Chris Horner hopes that the tree will grow to a full 100 feet and be a focal point for Southgate for generations to come.
