FOR the first time in living memory, a festive tree is taking pride of place on the village green at Pennal. Pupils of Ysgol Gynradd Pennal helped to plant the 18ft high Nordmann tree that was provided through partnership between Pennal 2050, Pennal Community Council, Derwen Garden Centre, Guilsfield with lights donated by the Pennal Show Committee and with support of the Pennal Canolfan Committee.
