Calne Lions Santa Sleigh 2024
Oct 2nd 2024, 22:41
We meet at 5:45pm in Church Street car park (postcode SN11 0EN - vehicle access is via Carnegie Mews on the A4) and set off as soon as all collectors have arrived, ideally no later than 5:55pm. We finish collecting around 8pm, and then return to Church Street car park.
For the safety of collectors and the general public please adhere to the following guidelines;
• All collectors must have registered in advance on this online Santa Diary to be able to go out collecting on any given night
• If your availability changes and you are no longer able to go out collecting that’s absolutely fine, but please cancel via this online Santa Diary or call / message Christina on 07842 402 672 as soon as possible and before 5:45pm, to enable someone else to potentially take your place
• With the exception of Santa no-one is allowed to travel on the Santa Sleigh. All collectors and Santa will travel to and from the evenings collection in either the towing vehicle or a support vehicle which will be driven by a member of Calne Lions
• We will be knocking on doors, it is therefore advisable to bring your own torch because some paths will be dimly lit
• Collectors need to be physically fit enough to walk a few miles each evening at a reasonable pace
• Remember to dress up warmly - hat, coat, gloves & scarf are recommended. The more Christmassy the hat the better!
• If you are able to supply your own hi-vis then please do so. Anyone who does not have their own hi-vis will be issued with one, please remember to bring this with you each time you go out collecting
• Wear footwear suitable for walking and potentially icy weather
• Please discourage people from approaching the Santa Sleigh
• Any trips, falls or incidents are to be reported to the banksman immediately – these will be recorded in the accident book
• Under 18’s will unfortunately not be able to come out collecting
