Dec 7, 2020 | Christmas, Fundraising, Santa's Sleigh Runs

Please note RESTRICTIONS below are to keep the general public and our members safe for Christmas 2020

Things are, unfortunately, a little different this year and both we and the public have conditions to abide by for this to go ahead. Please keep at least 2 metres away from all our team, including all volunteers, Santa and his sleigh. We recommend to keep the 2 metre rule – do not step off the pavement onto the road whilst Santa is passing and keep to social distancing rules.

Santa will not be doing his usual impromptu stops for photos. Please note that due to weather and other conditions times/ dates/ areas may change.

We cannot confirm which streets we are going down, but we will cover as much ground as possible in the area so please do not message us for individual streets and times, this year we need your help when we are in your area simply listen out for Santa.

Starting points are in place for guidance only, may we ask you not to gather at our starting points as we have in previous years, this is due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Collection buckets will be available for donations to be made, procedures have been put in place to make sure this adheres to social distancing regulations.

Looking forward to seeing you Ho Ho Ho! All members and volunteers of Maltby and Rother Valley Lions wish you a safe Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

Santa’s Christmas Sleigh bell’s will be jingling in 2020!

Our members and helpers have been working very hard for the past few months renovating our two sleighs, in the hope that we will be able to take them out and spread some Christmas joy in the community after an awful year.

After first thinking that we would not be able to take them out at all due to Covid restrictions, we are now so happy that we have permission to take them out and about in the run up to Christmas. Details of our sleigh runs will shortly be published on our Facebook page.

On Saturday 5th December we will be outside Tesco in Maltby with Santa, the Sleigh and his helpers from 9.30am to 1.00pm. This will all be subject to strict Covid regulations, practicing social distancing at all times. Unfortunately, the sleighs will not be making our usual stops for photos on our evening runs.

Maltby and Rother Valley Lions Club are looking forward to seeing you all ho ho ho!!

“As I said in Parliament, Rother Valley has such a vibrant Christmas scene it would be an incredible shame to miss out. From the Dinnington St John’s Town Council Christmas Festival and Christmas wreath making in Todwick, to the Maltby Rother Valley Lions Santa Sleigh ride, carols at All Saints, Aston and even my own new Annual Christmas Card Competition- there really is something for everyone. So please, stick to the rules to keep our community safe and our traditions alive.” Alexander Stafford MP.

Update from Maltby and Rother Valley Lions President, John Rathbone

Sep 26, 2020 | Local News, Christmas

This year has been a strange year, the last few months have been like something we have never known before. We have only been able to have one meeting since March. 

This will be the first year we have had to cancel our Christmas Carol Concert. With everything still being unsure, we think it is for the best.

We are unsure at this time what will happen regarding the Christmas Sleighs. We are in the process of refurbishing both of them at this time. We may have to put up some kind of screen to protect everyone. This will be at the top of our list at the next meeting, we will be doing our best to get out and about with the sleighs if possible and safe to do so.

We will keep you all updated as and when we know what we can do. All of our Members and Helpers look forward to being out with the sleighs probably as much as everyone that comes out to see us!

Santa and his team of volunteer helpers from Maltby and Rother Valley Lions Club are still keeping very busy indeed, as they make the sleigh runs throughout the North and South sides of Maltby and the Rother Valley. We thought we would just take this opportunity to share a few of the photos with you.
