SANTA
SERVICE
Father Christmas visits
It’s that time of year again and for Oundle Rotary it is as busy as ever. For many years, Oundle Rotary’s Santa’s Sleigh has been providing lots of fun for children and their families around the town and surrounding villages in the weeks leading up to the festive season. Once again, we are delighted
to have Oundle Fire Service escorting Santa and his helpers this year.
Last year we had designated stops for
Santa so that he could meet as many
children as possible. Look out for our
‘Santa’s Stops Here’ signs or visit our
Facebook page to find out where our
sleigh will be stopping near you in the
evenings as Christmas approaches,
starting at 5.30pm mid-week from 11th
to the 21st December 2023. If you would like to help organise your friends and neighbours to be ready and waiting for Santa when he comes, we would love to hear from you.
As well as our sleigh, we will once again be putting on our very popular Charity Christmas
Concert at St. Peter’s Church when the Salvation Army Band will be accompanied by soloists from Oundle School on Friday 1st December 2023. The concert starts at 7.45pm and tickets will be on sale in early November from Coleman’s Bookshop and Green Man Antiques
we are delighted to have Oundle Fire Service to support us in escorting Santa
in Oundle and Curl Hair Studio in Elton. Our charities this year are Medical Detection Dogs, Headway East Northants and Oundle Football Club. Donations can be made to our charities in our Santa’s Sleigh collecting buckets or on our Just Giving page.
We are always looking for new members who would enjoy helping
to plan events and bring ideas to our growing club. We have two meetings a
month held on Tuesday evenings at 7pm.
