More detail on Remembrance Tree setup
Based mainly on the Remembrance Tree in Cork
If needed:
Check charity status, do you need a separate bank account, what applications need to be made to local authority, Gardai, owner/operator if indoors, etc., what licences do you need.
Safety check and statement.
Insurances - Insurance for RIBI events is handled by Bartlett Group. Email them for a copy of the insurance certificate - mail@bartlettgroup.com
Ribbons: We source our ribbons from FloristsuppliesUK
In Cork, our tree is erected by the City Council, and we take it over prior to the start of the project.
Other clubs arrange for their own tree either outside or indoors, and some are allocated a certain number of days at a tree which is shared with other fund raisers.
A few days before the start we spend a day organising the tree
At the top we place a metal ring around the trunk, (2 x 'D'shapes bolted together)
At the base we insert screw eyes into the timber fencing
We run yellow propylene strapping through the shackles and the screw eyes to male a long loop 
Can be purchased from STP packaging
The ribbons are stapled to the loop and can be hoisted up the tree creating colourful garlands
