Bedford Mens Club

Annual Christmas Tree Sale

BMC-ACTS

During the year we are able to make donations to Bedford clubs and organizations in the community. For the past 20 years our annual Christmas sale has raised the most money for us to use to give back to our friends and neighbors.

In years past we have only sold Christmas trees at our stand in Bedford. This year we are offering an alternative, by selling them online. In coordination with Club Scouts Troop E they will deliver your tree to your house on Saturday or Sundays in November and December.

The trees arrive at our stand on November 21st. The stand is located at: Murphy’s Taproom & Carriage House, 393 NH101, Bedford, NH. They can be delivered to any address in BEDFORD or AHMERST New Hampshire.

About our Christmas Trees


Where do you get your trees?
Weir Tree Farms in Colebrook NH
For more information about the farm: Weir Tree Farm


What kind of trees do we sell?
Fraser Fir trees: 5'-6'
These trees are widely used as Christmas trees. The species' fragrance, shape, strong limbs, and ability to retain its soft needles for a long time when cut (which do not prick easily when hanging ornaments) make it one of the best trees for this purpose. The slender growth habit makes it appealing to buyers looking for a tree for small rooms.

Fralsam Fir 6'-7',7'-8',8'-9'
A hybrid cross developed by Weir Tree Farms and has been their top seller since it was rated "Best Overall" by the Wall Street Journal in November 2002. This hybrid incorporates the best characteristics of its parent trees, the Balsam and the Fraser, into one outstanding tree. 

How big of a tree should I order?
Generally, it's best to allow 1 ½ feet to six inches minimum between the top of the tree and your ceiling. And don't forget to account for the height of your tree stand and the tree topper you want to use.

Bedford Men's Club Fundraiser

The Bedford Men's Club receives over $50,000 per year by partnering with a local Game Of Chance company. The Club has received donations from the River Casino and the Lucky Moose Casino & Tavern for the past 10 years.

 With these contributions we are able to provide back to programs the help make Bedford a better place to live. The funds raised help to fund the club's annual scholarship program, school programs like Stand By Me, F.I.R.S.T. Robotics programs, and Destination Imagination. The BMC supports sports programs such as youth recreation league teams, the Bedford Barracudas, and the Bedford Bobcats, along with supporting our Fire and Police Departments.

Charitable gaming in New Hampshire includes poker, bingo, Lucky 7, raffles, games of chance and card rooms. The only form of legal electronic bingo gaming is handheld electronic bingo cards. Bingo, originally "beano," and Lucky 7 have been legal in New Hampshire since 1949 and games of chance since 1977.

Recently the governor signed a bill into law that created more oversight for the charitable gaming industry, which was estimated to produce $75 million in bets annually. The law requires the Attorney General's office to conduct background checks on operators and limits fees operators can charge charities. Charities are entitled to at least 35% of charitable gaming profits under the law.

Charitable groups must be registered with the New Hampshire Secretary of State and the New Hampshire Charitable Trust Division of the Attorney General's office for at least two years to run charitable gaming events.

Charitable gaming is so popular that many of the sites where the games can be offered have long waiting lists. Currently, there are over 70 charitable organizations operating games at Rockingham and Seabrook racetracks as well as other locations.
