Report written by York runner
Nine hardy GG Yorkies met on a very, very cold night to once again accompany the York Rotary Santa sleigh around the streets of Woodthorpe to collect money for various local Rotary charities and York Mind.
We were efficiently directed by Andrew from York Rotary who made sure we split each side of the streets equally and no-one got left behind (or lost). Jenna had come equipped with spare hats and sets of jingle bells, so Jenna and Tay could be heard jingling along as they jogged to keep warm. Despite there being less people out waiting for Santa this year (probably due to the sub-zero temperature) we still managed to collect some heavy buckets of coins and £ notes (amount tbc).
After 2 and a half hours, with frozen fingers and toes, we got back to our starting point and it was time for a quick photo on the sleigh before we went our separate ways to go and get warmed up.
