The Rotary Club of Ravenshead and Blidworth has thanked those who supported its Santa Sleigh and helped to raise £4,790.65.

A spokesman said: “The Rotary Santa’s Sleigh made its annual pass over Blidworth and Ravenshead and again proved to be a huge success. The number of children Santa sees seems to increase every year.

“Our collection this year proved to be very successful with a total of £,4790.65 collected over the period.
“We would like to thank the following community groups who supported the sleigh this year: Ravenshead Inner Wheel, The Centre at St Peter’s, St Peter’s Church, Ravenshead Church of England School PTA, Joseph Whitaker PTA, Blidworth Community Association and Andrew Draper on behalf of The John Eastwood Trust.

“Thank you all for your support. The funds raised will be distributed between a number of groups and local charities we work with and our president’s chosen charities for the year.”

The Rotary Club is also welcoming potential members who want to contribute to their community whilst making new friends and having fun.

The spokesman added: “Why don’t you come and visit our club. Just come along to a few of our meetings to try us out.

“Just contact us through our website or via our friendly club secretary, Trevor, on 01623 792662.”
