Christmas Collections 2024
We'll be out and about with Santa the week commencing Monday 9th December collecting for local good causes and Rotary selected charities.
Sadly each year a few people miss out on meeting Santa for whatever reason. Please remember that the times we give are approximate. If a lot of children meet us at one stop , we may be late at the next and have to leave early to catch up time. There's always the slight possibility that we might have to cancel an outing altogether in the case of severe weather conditions.
However, to reduce the chances of disappointment, we aim to use a map hosted by glympse.com that will appear on the nights we are collecting showing Santa's current location marked S. At other times you will just see a message "Waiting for Glympses". The Glympse app is primarily for sharing your own location with others and there's no need to download it to track Santa.
Note that this system relies on us having a mobile signal and so apologies in advance for any hiccups.
As usual, we shall have some sweets to give to the little ones. If you child has any allergies, please look after them and ensure they do not take a sweet if it would be bad for them.
Here's when and where we aim to be. Please do give generously. The money we collect goes to local good causes and Rotary selected charities.
