Annual sleigh ride

The Lions Club of the Woy Woy Peninsula will hold its annual Santa Sleigh ride through the streets of the Peninsula from November 27.

The purpose of the annual Christmas event is to raise money for the Pearl Beach Rural Fire Service through the sale of Christmas puddings and cakes.

Event organiser Ms Helen Anderson said the fundraising initiative also delighted young Peninsula residents with a visit from Santa.

"The two objects of this activity are to delight the children with a visit from Santa and to sell Lions Christmas cakes," Ms Anderson said.

"The sleigh will commence its run on November 27 and continue through until December 19.

"The sleigh will start from approximately 6pm each night and finish up at 8.30pm.

"The Lions Club hopes to visit as many streets on the Woy Woy Peninsula area as possible.

"Peninsula Lions are grateful for the support of Pearl Beach Rural Fire Service's volunteers who tow the sleigh."

Christmas cakes will be available to purchase at $10 for small and $12 for large, while locally made Christmas puddings will sell for $10 each.
