Santa Sleigh Launch

Fri, Dec 16th 2022 at 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Stainborough Rotary were commissioned by Santa to build a new sleigh. No sooner asked............

At our meeting on the 1st December, members discussed a 'Launching' for the Sleigh (not sure that's the right word, but it sounds good)

It is being taken up to Hoylandswaine on Friday the 16th December and it was thought by all present at the meeting that we could have a launch /naming ceremony before that event.

I understand that the sleigh will be going up to the Lord Nelson at about 5pm * on the Friday. If we could get there at 5.30pm, that would be great. We'd do the launch and then have a drink in the pub. Sounds like a plan.

We would love all the Rotarians that have helped build, decorate and photograph the journey of the new sleigh to be there so that our club can thank you all.

Please put the date in your calendars.

* times may change
