LIONS FREE GROTTO AND WINTER WONDERLAND AT WYEVALE GARDEN CENTRE PAGE 4 • FESTIVE NEWS • DECEMBER 2015 A visit to Santa’s Grotto is one of the highlights for children in the weeks before Christmas Day. With huge excitement they wait their turn to enter the Grotto for a chat with Santa and to tell him what Christmas presents they want while mum and dad and sometimes grandparents listen in to get some ideas – or often to shake a head in disbelief when one of the little darlings asks for an exceptionally pricey present. But Santa is an old hand at this and always handles the situation perfectly. The Lions Club has been helping Santa at his popular Grotto for well over a quarter of a century. It opened on Saturday November 14 and will be open every weekend – Saturday and Sunday – from llam to 4pm. Several thousand youngsters will pop in for a chat and a sweet – and now that everyone has a camera facility on the mobile phone a picture with Santa for the family album. Lions Club members consider it a privilege to serve the community throughout the year, but especially during the festive season when they can help keep alive some of the wonderful traditions which form part of the celebration of Christmas. And, it’s all free. But if families want to give a donation to the Lions charity fund to aid local projects that would be greatly appreciated. Last year the amount donated was over £4,000 and readers of Festive News will see how their generosity was well used to support a wide range of local deserving causes. Thank you. CHRISTMAS RAFFLE This year Lions are introducing a special Christmas Raffle and inviting visitors to try their luck at winning some great prizes. Teas or breakfasts with Santa can also be booked direct with the Garden Centre and the children receive a present. The photographs remind us of all the children who met Santa in his Grotto last Christmas. Look forward to seeing you all again this Christmas.
