The Trust's Christmas Party this year took place as usual in the pleasant surroundings of Harden, Austwick, by kind permission of Mr. and Mrs. Lovett. It was very well attended and in addition to good food, good wine and good company, the evening included a programme of carols and Christmas music presented by pupils of Giggles wick School, under the direction of Mr. Peter Read. We are most grateful to Mr. Read, and to his choir and instrumentalists, for setting the Christmas season off on such a festive note.
