Halesworth Lions Club Christmas Activities
We kick-off our Xmas activities when we distribute collection boxes in various shops and other locations around Halesworth Town. Anyone who would like local cards delivered by us puts these in the collections boxes together with a donation to the Halesworth Lions Club. We undertake to hand delivery all cards in good time for Xmas – perhaps a better guarantee than the Post Office!
We hold an annual Xmas Party on the first Saturday in December, usually from 2pm4pm and we make no charge for this event. It has always been held in the Rifle Hall, Halesworth and in 2008 was on 6th December.
We’re not sure of the 2009 venue as the future of the Rifle Hall is uncertain, but it will be held on Saturday 5th December. Please complete the Contact Form if you live locally and would like to attend or know a senior citizen who would, and someone from the Club will get back to you. If transport is needed then this can be arranged.
The Halesworth by-pass was completed in November 1991 and the pedestrianised Thoroughfare is an ideal venue for the Winter Fayre which is always held on the second Sunday in December.
In 2008, the Winter Fayre was on 14th December. There was a competition for the “best-dressed” shop window, a BBQ, a Santa’s Grotto, a raffle (many of the prizes are donated by local shop-owners and we thank them for their continuing generosity), the Halesworth Lions Club Xmas Sleigh playing carols, and stalls throughout The Thoroughfare.
If you’re interested in being a stallholder, please complete the Winter Fayre entry form, download and print from here but please also note that completing and returning the form does not necessarily imply acceptance.
Some of us can’t sing in tune, so you’ll be glad to know that all the carols and Xmas songs are recorded! Also our sleigh is drawn not by a sturdy steed but by a car! But you’ll hear us around the streets of Halesworth on some early evenings in December. Please give generously if we knock at your door.
What more can a kiddie dream of than to have Xmas presents delivered by Santa himself! Some of us don fancy dress and ride the sleigh on Xmas morning to deliver those special presents.
If you would like us to do this, then please telephone 01986 872994 to book your visit. All we ask for is a donation to our Lions Club Funds.
