Nine of Santa’s finest elves (including Sally from GG Islington) congregated in Woodthorpe to help York Rotary Club collect donations for York Mind. One elf - Ed - had to dash home for his running shoes as the REAL Santa was already on his sleigh and elf Ed had been demoted. However, he found that being an elf was a lot more fun, knocking on doors, talking to those waiting in the street and generally wishing everyone a “merry Christmas” in his cheeriest voice! Debs and Pete looked very festive in their Christmas lights and there was a lot of dancing and skipping along (to keep warm of course!) After 2 and a half hours we’d run/walked up many streets and collected lots of cash. Nick said he’d been given lots of notes and thought he’d collected the most but Barbara had lots of coins and possibly the heaviest bucket. We will wait to see what the total collected was but we’ve been told the most so far was around £600 in one night. Hope we’ve beaten that! A really fun task to get us in the Christmas spirit!
