It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas!
Santa really enjoyed a wonderful evening at the Balsall Common village Christmas lights switch
on.
Lovely singing from the choirs of Balsall Common Primary School and Lady Katherine Leveson C of
E Primary School.
Thanks to everybody who came out to support us, and to all the local councillors who organised
this great community event!
