The St Giles tree was decorated with green baubles and gold angels &#8211; green being the colour associated with the Hospice and the angels always part of the Hospice Christmas goods; Soroptimists used their colours of blue and yellow to decorate their tree.<\/p>\n<p>Hundreds of visitors were expected at the three day Festival when they could admire the trees and the Church, make donations to charities if they wished, buy from Craft stalls and enjoy a cup of coffee in the beautiful surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Any donations received via the St Giles tree will be used to aid the work of the Hospice, caring for patients and their families at a time of great need. Donations received by SI Cannock will go to President Lynne Tuckley&#8217;s two charities this year: St Giles and the Pathway Project, helping women victims of Domestic Violence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2015\/12\/eileen-tree.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-826\" src=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2015\/12\/eileen-tree-168x300.jpg\" alt=\"eileen tree\" width=\"168\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2015\/12\/eileen-tree-168x300.jpg 168w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2015\/12\/eileen-tree.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 168px) 100vw, 168px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2015\/12\/janette-trish-tree.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-827\" src=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2015\/12\/janette-trish-tree-168x300.jpg\" alt=\"janette trish tree\" width=\"168\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2015\/12\/janette-trish-tree-168x300.jpg 168w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2015\/12\/janette-trish-tree.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 168px) 100vw, 168px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photos attached: Soroptimist Eileen Cryer decorating the tree for SI Cannock; St Giles tree with committee members Lyn Williams, Trish Mellor &amp; Janette Arrowsmith<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cannock Soroptimists and Cannock Friends of St Giles were amongst many businesses, organisations and charities&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":204,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Christmas Tree Festival | News | Blog | Events | SI Cannock and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Cannock and District : Blog &amp; News : Christmas Tree Festival : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Cannock and District .
