As a newly formed Rotary club, but with many years of experience, beginning with only the clothes on our backs, it was decided that we wanted to get back to what we enjoyed doing, raise money to support local people at Christmas.
To do this, we needed a new sleigh!
Using an ex-builders box trailer and a lot of support from local companies, materials were donated and procured at heavily reduced costs, construction began.
Santa can feel proud riding high in his new conveyance while securely strapped in to his deeply padded seats, surrounded by flashing lights and seasonal music.
And now, with the appropriate permits, assessments and insurances in place, plus the support and participation of our local police force – let the festivities (and fund-raising) begin!
