THE Tavistock Rotary Club kicks off its Christmas collections by bringing its remodelled Santamobile to join the town's popular Dickensian evening on Friday, November 28.
The redesigned version allows increased visibility of Father Christmas and will add to the enjoyment that the club's annual tour of the town's estates brings to the many children who look forward to a chat and a lollipop from Santa whilst Rotarians collect donations for good causes.
Martin Webb, the club's Rotarian in charge of fundraising, said: 'Weather permitting, during December, it is intended to keep to the programme between 6pm and 7.30pm in the evening and we hope that the public will continue to give generously to enable the club to support local and international charities.'
