On Monday I met up with Plant Up Sunniside to put the final touches to the Switch on Sunniside event on 25th November. I've booked the Christmas donkey and "reindeer". Santa is coming as well. There will be live music from Anna Reay. There will be no Christmas tree as such this year, sadly. The cost of buying a tree (plus delivery, installation, insurance etc) from the Council has jumped from £3200 to £3800. That has put having a Christmas tree beyond reach for many community groups in Gateshead, Sunniside included. Instead, the trees in the planters on Sunniside Front Street will be decorated with battery powered lights. The trees aren't conifers but they will light up well.
So, come along on 25th November. Events kick off at 4.30pm and finish about 6pm.
