Santa and his sleigh set to tour the area

They will be assisted on their illuminated sleigh by Bognor Hotham Rotary Club members.

The starting point for their latest festive journey will be the Southdown pub roundabout at about 5.45pm for their journey around Felpham.

Santa's presence will be noticeable from the happy tunes as his elves make their way along the roads.

Santa will be giving lollipops to children, with consent from the adults.

Everyone involved with the tour hopes to better the 8,000 donated from last year's excursions.

The money enabled the Rotarians to help many people, young and old, as well as local charitable organisations.

Well-informed sources reveal that Santa's routes in the coming week will take him to:

Saturday (morning) '“ Manor Nurseries, Pagham; (evening) '“ Flansham Park, Felpham.

Sunday '“ Downview Road area, Felpham;

Monday '“ Pryors Lane, Nyetimber;

Tuesday '“ Aldwick Felds;

Thursday, December 13 '“ Aldborough Road, Aldwick.

Further visits will be made by Santa in the following week.
