Christmas 2022

Fund raising with our New Santa Sleigh!


Christmas 2022 marked the arrival of our Santa Sleigh.  Club Members the "Atkinson" Team have done the Club proud in constructing and fitting out a fantastic sleigh.  The first Christmas event to unveil the Sleigh was at Penwortham Market where we entertained lots of children (and some adults!) wanting to to see Father Christmas.  Special thanks go to Penwortham Garage for letting us use their forecourt.  We then moved on to Tesco's at Penwortham where despite the cold weather and residual snow and ice, Father Christmas and his elf helpers entertained and fund raised for 4 days.  If that was not enough Santa's Sleigh then moved on to Booths at Longton for 2 days.  Special thanks to Tesco's and Booths for making Father Christmas and his helpers very welcome.

All in all the Club managed to raise over £2,500 so heartfelt thanks to the communities of Penwortham and Longton for supporting a range of local and national charities.

Watch out for our Super Sleigh next year!!
