Rutland Garden Centre, A Christmas Carol, Chris Hamilton, 
Visited by a Spirit of Christmas? 

Is to give Oakham a Christmas Tree.

Mr Hamilton spotted the Facebook campaign  'give Oakham the Christmas tree it deserves.'

The campaign was given plenty of local media coverage, Rob Persani  interviewed Oakham
Deputy Mayor Cllr Alf Dewis. on his breakfast show
this week on Rutland Radio.

The Rutland Times gave the campaign front
page coverage.

Mr Hamilton has strong connections to our town
council past and present.

Former Oakham Mayor Jim Harrison one of Mr
Hamilton's friends said Oakham residents may
have the tree they deserve?

Mr Hamilton owner of Rutland Garden Center
based in Ashwell, has surely been visited by a
Christmas Spirit of sort. He has told Rutland
Radio news he will donate a new 20 foot tree, this
Sunday morning. 8.00am and is asking residents
to assist at the delivery if they can.

It's great to see the Hamilton family giving back
to the Oakham tax payers after many past years of
taking from them.

Mr Hamilton finds it difficult to recruit staff and is
currently attempting to seek temporary staff using
a Grantham based agency, who say it is highly unusual
for them to do business with Oakham and Rutland
based firms. The agency felt I had the appropriate
skills and experience to work for Mr Hamilton!
I would have liked to work at the garden center, but
I am sure if I had turned up this Wednesday to start work
Mr Hamilton in a drunken rage would have chased
me off site with his shot gun.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL

6 - 8 DEC 2012
STUDIO PERFORMANCE

By Charles Dickens, told by Mike Maran, with music written by Alison Stephens, performed by Norman Chalmers (concertina), and directed by Patrick Sandford.

Scrooge is a terrible miser - but he can't be all bad.  He could hardly become so beautifully transformed at the end of the story if he never has the potential in the first place.

The ghosts aren't so frightening - well maybe just a little bit scary.  They lead Scrooge down the roads of the past, present, and future because he wants to see eveyrthing that they can show him.

Scrooge's nephew, Fred, laughs all the way through the story.  If you should happen, by any unlikely chance, to know a man more blest in laugh than Scrooge's nephew all I can say is that I'd like to know him too.  From the same team that delighted audiences withCaptain Corelli's Mandolin, mesmeric storyteller Mike Maran brings you a sparkling new production of the Charles Dickens seasonal favourite.

Curve is a theatre in Leicester, England, based in the Cultural quarter in Leicester City Centre. Before being named Curve, it was referred to as Leicester Performing Arts Centre. Wikipedia
