As some of you may know, I am a member of Marlow's branch of the Round Table. The Round Table, which was founded in 1927, is the leading social and voluntary organisation for men aged 18-45 in Great Britain and Ireland. We raise money for locale charities through various events and usually have a social one night a month (read: meet for pints at the pub).
An annual Round Table tradition is the Santa Sleigh ride. For a few nights during the month of December the sleigh is pulled through various neighborhoods, Christmas music blaring while volunteers go door and door collecting money for charity. This happens all over England. One of those nights I was lucky enough to don the big guy's suit and hop in the sleigh.
Ho, Ho, Ho
Kids all over Marlow ran out of their homes to meet Santa. They were a bit baffled by a Father Christmas with an American accent but I think it helped with the authenticity!
My elves, Henry & Oliver, got in on the fun and went door to door with buckets in hand to help collect the money.
A fun night for a really good cause.
Happy Christmas everyone!
Sounds like a great cause. Hats off for helping.
