UPDATE - Santa’s Sleigh Round Comes to Upchurch

On Monday 10th December, Sittingbourne Christmas Lights Association will be bringing Santa’s Sleigh Round to Upchurch for the very first time, for what promises to be a great opportunity for children of all ages to join in the festive fun.

Santa’s Sleigh Round starts at 6:30pm and finishes at 9:00pm.

Santa's Round

6:30 - 7:20pm - Littlefield Road / Four Gun Field Estates

Santa's volunteers will travel around door knocking and collecting donations towards Sittingbourne Christmas Lights. It is highly likely that the sleigh will get 'stuck' with a long queue of children so it may be the case that people will need to come to Santa, although of course this shouldn't involve a long walk.

Santa's Tracker will be live online from 6:30pm so everyone should be able to find him easily enough at >> www.scla.co.uk/santatracker

Santa has to leave Otterham Quay at 7:20pm regardless of whether children are still waiting, which no one wants, so we will manage the queue if necessary to avoid people waiting and not getting a visit. The simple message is 'come early'!

Santa will leave promptly at 7:20pm to arrive;

7:30pm - 8:10pm - Crosier Court

Santa will stay there until 8:10pm. The same process will apply, the message is again, get there early...

Santa will leave promptly at 8:10pm to arrive;

8:15pm - 9:00pm - Drakes Close

Santa should travel the whole loop of the Close and will leave promptly at 9:00pm.

All proceeds from the collection go to help provide and maintain the Sittingbourne Christmas Lights each year.

Volunteers Still Needed

The organisers don't usually announce Santa's visits in advance but they make an exception for new and more far flung villages as they need us to find volunteers to help them run the evening. 

Volunteers must be 16 or over, and if under 18 accompanied by a responsible adult. If you would like to volunteer, please contact:

Tyrone Ripley: 07702 222093 Email: tyrone.ripley@yahoo.co.uk
Alan Horton: 07447 925760 Email: alanhorton@btinternet.com

Volunteers should meet at 6:15pm on Littlefield Road for a quick briefing. All volunteers will be wearing a hi-vis vests with the wording 'Sittingbourne Christmas Lights Volunteer' written on the back and front, and will be wearing an ID badge.
