Christmas lights switch on

Santa and Great Aycliffe Mayor switch on the Christmas tree lights in the town center.

We so enjoyed taking part in the Town Centre Christmas Lights Switch On Event at the weekend and also showcasing our new sleigh.

Grateful thanks to all our volunteers and especially to our community who came out in force and queued in the freezing cold to speak with Santa, Mrs Claus and little Elf.

It was great to see everyone, and we know we can rely on your support.

HE TRAILER, THE SLEIGH, AND THE CHRISTMAS JOURNEY, WITH A BUNCH OF ROTARIANS

During 2022, with the help of our County Councillors and funding from the Great Aycliffe and Middridge Partnership - GAMP, Rotary Newton Aycliffe bought a trailer, and it was a natural progression to then make the decision to have a new Santa Sleigh.

A couple of months ago, Bernard Borsberry visited Rotary Newton Aycliffe to speak about his recent trip away and how he became interested in supporting youth football in a distant land.

ay, our President David Hogg visited Five Acres Community Garden and presented Manager, Charlote Iceton with a cheque towards their 'Fund a Fence' project.
