ROTARY SANTA FOR CHILDREN AND SOME ADULTS
Now for something completely different!
This year we are asking people to #WaveToSanta from your doorstep.
With the changes needed because of Covid and the uncertainty of the weather we must remain flexible until the last moment. Due to different requirements such as government guidance, local authority requirements and RIBI insurance conditions the routes will be the same but .......
No house to house collections
- but if you can please still donate to us by clicking below (and share this with your friends)
No stopping points
No chocolate coins
What will happen?
Santa will be travelling in his own sleigh suitably adapted to be COVID safe.
A vehicle will travel ahead of the routes with a tannoy system, telling the public that Santa is on his way but please stay at your front door or window and wave.
With the sleigh there will be two elves.
When will it happen?
All details regarding Rotary Santa will be on the Rotary Santa Facebook Page www.facebook.com/RWBRotarySanta
Rotary Santa is shared between the Rotary Club of Royal Wootton Bassett Town and us.
