We hope to see you tomorrow at our stall at Guiseley Christmas Lights Market. Come and say hello. We’ve got the following on offer:

• Our Guiseley Jubilee Oak Story booklet at £2, a souvenir of an historic year. It contains the specially written story told at the Jubilee Picnic by author Irene Lofthouse about Guiseley people. It has photographs by Darren Sanderson, and other park users. And, in memory of the late Queen it also has an historic illustration by Yorkshire artist Eleanor Tomlinson, who kindly let us reproduce it in return for a donation to the Prince’s Trust. You can get a copy by emailing Jennifer Kirkby at parkinsonspark@gmail.com
• We also have a raffle for two delicious Christmas hampers, one for adults and one geared for children. Tickets £1 each
• Then we have a Christmas Bag Lucky Dip for £3 a go.
• Our Parkinson’s Park Story Trail Leaflets, and some Children’s I-Spy in Parkinson’s Park Leaflets – both free.

Don’t forget to also visit St Oswald’s Christmas Tree Festival, which opens tomorrow. We’ve put up one of the exhibits for The Queen’s Green Canopy. There are also lots of other lovely trees too done by various local organizations. There will be an Advent Service in the church at 7pm (not the advertised 6.30pm).

Our Queen’s Green Canopy Festive Christmas tree has a range of leaves and regal bits and bobs almost all crafted by Friends. There is crochet, felting, knitting, needle-felting, pipe-cleaner modelling, and marbling. Thanks go to Barbara Winfield, Becky James, Caroline Herries, Jennifer Kirkby, Nicola Denson, Peter Kirkby and Vivien Hornsby-Smith. We choose the theme to go with our main event in 2022, the dedication of the Jubilee Tree and planting more trees in the Park for the Queen’s Green Canopy.
