Rotary Club Santa's Sleigh Collections in MarpleAs many local residents will already be aware, The New Mills, Marple and District Rotary Club have for many years used a Santa Sleigh to tour the district at Christmas collecting money of charity.
2017 saw the first outing of our new sleigh, a popular attraction for local children.
Any local organisation or individual would be very welcome to help us. Your commitment need not be onerous, just one evening during December collecting would really help... several would be even better! If you would like to help, please call President Mike Coleman 07855 666646. We would love to hear from you.
