FUNDRAISING
Oundle Rotary Club
Escort for Santa
For many years, Oundle Rotary Santa’s Sleigh has been providing lots of excitement for children and their families around the town and surrounding villages at Christmas time. Oundle Fire Service kindly provided an escort for Santa and his helpers, announcing their arrival with flashing blue lights and the sound of the siren. We are already planning to expand Santa’s route in 2023. If you would like to help coordinate a route through your village, please get in touch.
New Members
We are always looking for new members who would enjoy helping to plan events and bring ideas to our group. We have two meetings a month held on Tuesday evenings at 7pm. More details on our Facebook page or phone Jo Elwood 07549 531684.
