Christmas has had its chips at last
THE WINTRY weather brought with it bags of support for Sett Valley Watch Group's annual fundraiser.
Members spent the weekend at Hayfield Ranger Station filling and distributing bags of pinewood chippings - produced from recycled Christmas trees.
For a small donation, people were able to take home the chippings, which can be used as mulch or a covering for garden paths.
Watch Leader Richard Body explained: "This event is our one big annual fundraiser, and the money we receive helps pay for events throughout the year.
"The whole weekend went very well and was more popular than last year, despite the snow. It was also nice to welcome back some of our regular customers who didn't make it last year."
