‘Design-a-light for Christmas’ competition for local schools
Since 2007 we have organised this annual competition for local primary schools and are very grateful to Tring Town Council, Tring & Villages Extended Schools Consortium and Tring Tomorrow for sponsoring it. Each year pupils in Class 6 are asked to create a drawing that can be turned into a Christmas light.
The theme each year is "The Magic of Christmas" and the two best drawings are selected from all entries. These winning designs are made into enormous light decorations and put up as a part of Tring High Street's Christmas light display. The two winners are then invited onto the stage at Tring's Christmas Festival where they switch on their lights to officially open the event!

We have just completed the summer planting of our flower boxes thanks to the generosity of Tring Lions and Tring Living Magazine, who sponsored the flowers this year and also came along to help with the planting. We are very grateful for this support and also to the other businesses that have sponsored them over the years. We would also like to thank Colin Jones from Tring Town Council for his continued assistance. |

The photos below were taken on the launch day of Tring Spring Fayre 1st May - an event that aims to get people out and about and enjoying Tring in Spring! There were animals on Church Square for children to feed and stroke, as well as stalls provided by Tring in Transition, Tring Extended Schools Consortium and Sunnyside Rural Trust. We were also there giving away copies of Tring Days Out and providing information on other activities and events taking place during the two weeks. Pupils from Francis House School performed songs in Dolphin Square where M&S were running a Spring taste event. St Peter and St Paul church was also open to visitors and will be for the whole two weeks of the Spring Fayre. A whole series of walks and Spring themed activities followed 1st-15th May.
