Public meeting in Clara next week on town's Christmas lights arrangements

The Clara Christmas Lights committee is to hold a public meeting on Tuesday next, September 23, in the Scouts Den at 8pm.

The committee is seeking help from locals in order to facilitate Clara's Christmas lights display for 2025.

"We were very fortunate to have James Hiney as part of the team since 2010. James stepped down last Christmas after giving 14 years, which we are so grateful for," said the committee.

"This year we need the help of people with a ticket license for a Cherry picker to light up Clara this Christmas. Our reality is if we do not get the help, we cannot put up the lights.

"If you have a ticket, or know someone who has one, please come to the Scouts Den on Tuesday the 23rd to see how you can help," the committee added.

"We also need assistance with general operations also - no help will be refused."
