OXFORD’S Sea Cadets raised more than a third of their £30,000 running costs in just a few weeks selling Christmas trees.
The unit has been selling trees imported from Ireland for 38 years but this year raised a record of more than £10,000 from their base in Donnington Bridge Road, Oxford.
Oxford Sea Cadets Sub Lieutenant and Commanding Officer Terry Ingham said: “This has been a record-breaking year. We are very lucky to have loyal customers who come back year after year. They make a very substantial contribution to the unit. It costs about £30,000 to run.
“It’s a vital part of our operation, we very much appreciate the support we receive”
