Billingshurst & District Lions Club (December 2025)
A Message From Santa
“Hello everyone, I wanted to let you all know that
the Elves at Billingshurst & District Lions Club
are working hard on a brand new “Flying Bedstead”,
as my previous one had become a little jaded.
It will sit again on a Skoda vehicle,
loaned and suitably decorated by the kindly people at
Station Garage in Broadbridge Heath, Horsham.
“I will just need to check it over
before travelling to see you all again in and around -
Billingshurst, Barns Green, Five Oaks, Kirdford,
Loxwood, Rudgwick, Slinfold and Wisborough Green
Starting Monday, 1st December until Saturday, 20th December.
“Dates and Routes can be found on billingshurstlions.org and Facebook,
together with how to download the “Track Santa” App
and follow my progress so that you can be ready
to say hello when I arrive, rather than waiting in the cold.
“Donations are always welcome helping towards providing Christmas Hampers
for those who would benefit from a little extra
at Christmas and in support of other charities.
Don’t worry if you don’t have cash,
as my Elves will have a card reader.
“A Message now for Children -
I will be delighted to receive your letters
through my special post box in the Lions Bookshop in Jengers Mead
- but, remember to post early as the last date is
Saturday, 20th December, giving me time to reply before Christmas Eve.
“Finally, I wanted to tell you about an exciting new venture,
in Billingshurst, the Lions will be collecting and recycling Christmas trees,
raising money for Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice Care
and other Charities.
However, in this first year, it will be trialled in Billingshurst
Post Code RH14 9, but with the plan to include
the surrounding villages next year. Watch this space!”
“In the meantime, best wishes to you all for a Happy and Peaceful Christmas”
Santa
