Santa’s Sleigh Run Schedules released for Christmas 2020!!!

Please note RESTRICTIONS below are to keep the general public and our members safe for Christmas 2020

Things are, unfortunately, a little different this year and both we and the public have conditions to abide by for this to go ahead. Please keep at least 2 metres away from all our team, including all volunteers, Santa and his sleigh. We recommend to keep the 2 metre rule – do not step off the pavement onto the road whilst Santa is passing and keep to social distancing rules.

Santa will not be doing his usual impromptu stops for photos. Please note that due to weather and other conditions times/ dates/ areas may change.

We cannot confirm which streets we are going down, but we will cover as much ground as possible in the area so please do not message us for individual streets and times, this year we need your help when we are in your area simply listen out for Santa.

Starting points are in place for guidance only, may we ask you not to gather at our starting points as we have in previous years, this is due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Collection buckets will be available for donations to be made, procedures have been put in place to make sure this adheres to social distancing regulations.

Looking forward to seeing you Ho Ho Ho! All members and volunteers of Maltby and Rother Valley Lions wish you a safe Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

Santa’s Christmas Sleigh bell’s will be jingling in 2020!

Our members and helpers have been working very hard for the past few months renovating our two sleighs, in the hope that we will be able to take them out and spread some Christmas joy in the community after an awful year.

After first thinking that we would not be able to take them out at all due to Covid restrictions, we are now so happy that we have permission to take them out and about in the run up to Christmas. Details of our sleigh runs will shortly be published on our Facebook page.

On Saturday 5th December we will be outside Tesco in Maltby with Santa, the Sleigh and his helpers from 9.30am to 1.00pm. This will all be subject to strict Covid regulations, practicing social distancing at all times. Unfortunately, the sleighs will not be making our usual stops for photos on our evening runs.

Maltby and Rother Valley Lions Club are looking forward to seeing you all ho ho ho!!

Pie n peas and some more great fundraising

 

Well we celebrated some brave sky divers tonight at our Lions Pie n pea night, alongside a raffle and a quiz.

Lewis completed a sky dive in memory of his father, our late President David Parker, raising a whopping £900 for the Lions.

Also with us was Rebecca Blackwell who raised a fantastic £700 for Help for Heroes in memory of her grandfather Allan Thompson. Well done to the both of them!

It was a fun filled night for us all and an opportunity for our second mascot Dave the Lion to make his first outing! Dave has been made in memory of our late President David Parker and will be joining Alfie on his adventures.
