Fleet and Hart Lions Christmas Float 2020
We will be touring Fleet and Church Crookham again this Christmas, but in a different way. To keep us all COVID safe, we won't be knocking on your door.
Santa and his Snowmen will be driving around town, waiting at convenient and safe stopping places so you can see Santa and take photos of your young ones with Santa in shot. Donations will be very welcome.
So where will Santa be?
Our area of the town this year is West of Reading Road, including Church Crookham (the Verne/Dinorben, etc), Tavistock Road area, Zebon Copse, Crookham Park, Edenbrook and Elvetham Heath (the East side of town is visited by Fleet Rotary)
To see where we are real-time:
- Follow our FACEBOOK page, we'll update this regularly
- Follow our GPS TRACKER
- LISTEN out, we'll announce our arrival with the sound of bells and music on your street!
Santa and his Snowmen will make sure we are all protected and socially distanced whilst having fun and bringing smiles to the younger ones!
You will also see us at the Hart Shopping Centre, outside Izzy's. SORRY we won't now be at Morrisons on Monday 14 or Tuesday 15 December. Morrisons nationwide have made the decision that they will not allow any manned charity collections on their premises this year due to Covid-19 restrictions.
This joint venture with Hart Lions raises funds to help us provide Christmas Hampers for the needy of Fleet and surrounding areas. In the evening we usually start touring with the Float at 5.30pm and finish at 7.30pm.
Just as important as the funds we raise, the float gives pleasure to hundreds of young and old alike.
There are a number of cheerful 'Friends of Fleet Lions' without whom, we would not be able to operate. Our thanks to them all. AND ALSO to Johnson's Dry Cleaners who have laundered our outfits at no cost to us.
A big thank you too, for the generosity and good nature of our residents who've been known to say "Now Christmas can start!".
If you don't manage to meet us, you can still donate to our collection on Virgin Money Giving:
The Rotary Club of Fleet are taking Santa on their Christmas Float around Fleet See the Rotary Club routes on their website.
