Santa Sleigh visits Witterings, Bracklesham and Birdham

Local residents will have the chance for Santa to deliver some extra special presents this year, with the help of 1st Birdham and Witterings Scouts Group.

To take part people need to take a securely-wrapped present to Footworks, in East Wittering no later than 3.30pm on the working day before the delivery day.

All presents will be delivered subject to weather conditions. The cost is £3 for a present no bigger than a standard shoebox, £5 for anything larger than that. All items are priced individually..

Funds raised by the event will be for the Scout Group and also a donation to another Local Youth Organisation Charity which as yet has not been decided.

My thanks in advance for your support.

Organisers hope to deliver all presents between 6pm and 9pm, subject to the weather conditions.
