The Clerk of Oakham Town Council was pleased to report
the towns Christmas lights were now mostly installed and the
office has received favourable comments from a number of
members of the public.

The issue of the Christmas tree lights
is ongoing the installers have still not received the correct
light which I have been told  should be festive multi coloured.

Today a professional photographer came to town and photographed

Oakham Town Council Agree To Pay Rotary Club For Christmas Tree

Oakham Town Council Agree To Pay Rotary Club For Christmas Tree





Oakham Town Council this morning decided it would pay the Rotary Club to
provide a Christmas Tree for the town.

For over thirty years the Rotary has provided the town with a shabby tree poorly
decorated and proudly displayed a sign saying they had gifted the tree to the town.

Recent communications with the council made public show this was not true
Someone else who is now not willing to do so paid for the tree.

Cllr Peter Locket said "if we are going to pay for the tree we don't want it
labelled gifted from the Rotary Club"

Cllr Dewis the Mayor, Chairman of Oakham Town Partnership and another other committee
throughout Rutland and clearly not the Rotary

Said " The tree provided has been poor in the past" he also said "I am surprised the Rotary can not
organise its own fundraising after all is that not their purpose?"

He went onto agree with Cllr Lockett's comments.

Cllr Maureen Dodds questioned "can we have some decent lighting?"

Cllr Lucas reminded members once again that one previous year members were asked
to to wrap a box in a plastic bag to make the tree look better.

I remember the year well soggy parcels in plastic bags truly enhance the look of the half illuminated  tree.

The members decide to give the Rotary the money with attached conditions that they might like to
decorate the tree better and include a sign notifying the tree was paid for by the Town Council.

Why the Council don't by and decorate a tree itself I don't know?

At the beginning of the meeting we learnt Clr Lucas has now switch her door bell from
chiming to a barking dog such class Cllr Lucas :-)

Will There Be A Christmas Tree This Year? Rotary Ask Oakham Town Council For Cash To Buy Tree

Will There Be A Christmas Tree This Year? 

Rotary Ask Oakham Town Council For Cash To Buy Tree

For Thirty Years The Rotary Club of Rutland has gifted the town a Fine Christmas Tree.

then the town council has poorly decorated it.

It appears in the past the Rotary has relied on a generous donor to present this gift 

to the town.

The Donor is now not willing or can't continue to make this donation. As the Town 

Clerk said he thinks the tree comes from ******* I won't publish that information in case it's wrong.

The Rotary  has helped some very good local causes over the 

years and this year it has provided funds for Young Musician of The Year, Created the Park School

Garden and supported the Air Ambulance.

And it has made many grants form its charity fund.

The Rotary Club says it lack funds this year and can not use its remaining funds for non-charitable 

purposes. 

They will be asking the Town Council for cash at this Wednesday's meeting so they can buy a tree

and gift it to the town.

I am a big believer in cutting out the middle man to save money and suggest the Town Council sources its own tree and decorates it properly. 

I am sure they could find sponsor and I do hope they don't buy a shopping centre thing like Stamford

A very frugal Christmas Tree, I wonder if they can 

afford the electric. One of my friends works in finance 

he chucks lights on his pot plant also.

 Tesco Oakham Christmas Tree.

and good point to deposit your old 

batteries for recycling.

Oakham Christmas Tree we were told that Furleys would decorate it.

Once again its only decorated half way from the top, just in case

some fool vandalises it and is electrocuted. It looks silly at night 

so why bother that's why I have not photographed it at night.

Anyway thanks to Rutland Lions Rotary for gifting the tree to the town.
