Blenheim Horse Trials 2014

As Nicholsons are one of the sponsors of the horse trials Charlie Harper and his girlfriend Nicola went to represent the company at the drinks reception on the first day. They were introduced to the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough on the way into the main library, where they mingled with other sponsors and took in the luxurious interior of the palace whilst quaffing champagne. Now that's what I call eventing!

One Oak Project starts the Tree Planting

Nicholsons have been supporting the One Oak Project (http://www.oneoak.info/) which has been involved in the story of an Oak tree starting from its felling and the products that can be made from it. Seed had been collected and grown by Nicholsons and now it was time to start to plant the next generation.

On the site of the old tree a Sculpture was unveiled by the Duke of Marlborough (seen on the right of the picture), made from a bow of the tree. Local schools who have been involved with the project from the start then set about replanting with Oak Transplants having sung an Ode to Trees.
