Birstall Luddites joined forces to help at the RVS Christmas Party held in the Batley Community

Guests arrived at 3 pm including children from Carlinghow junior school. 
Food and drinks were served, Santa arrived to great excitement from all the children.
Santa sat and gave out presents to the children. RVS then gave out gift boxes the the guests.
During all this the Major of Kirklees Gwen Lowe arrived with Ken and together with Batley MP Tracy Brabin they joined in and helped with the Christmas Party.
Entertainer Karen Clegg then led a sing-song with the Carlinghow pupils helping with
the Christmas carols. 
A raffle and Tombola helped with fund raising for the RVS, who had had a break in at their office and had money stolen in the previous week. 
RVS thanked local supermarkets for food donations Tesco at Batley and Cleckheaton and 
Morrisons in Heckmondwike 
Tracy Brabin thanked the Jo Cox Foundation for their generous contribution to the party gifts. 
Big thanks to Ian for pulling the sleigh down to the community centre on a dreadful day in heavy rain and Santa Keith for being Santa. 
Jeremy conducted the proceedings very professionally Carol and Katherine serving tea and coffee with the help of Rotarian waiters. All Luddites worked hard plus Edith .     
Jeremy thanked all the helpers and Fazila on behalf of the RVS thanked Birstall Luddites for helping with the Party. 
The event finished just after 5pm  when Rotarians helped to pack up the Community centre. 
Hopefully this is an event where Luddites can help RVS Christmas Party for years to come.
