Glasgow Santa Cruise 2009

[ally-b]

Yes , it's that time of year again folks

I mentioned to most folk I spoke to at last nights meet that it is time we got the ball-rolling for this years Santa Cruise.

We plan to follow the same idea as the past few years ...

IE.

1. Raise money via donation sheets , sticker sales etc

2. Purchase lots of toys and gifts with funds raised

3. Meet up with cars decked out in Christmas decorations - wee prize for best decorated car.

4. Convoy through city

5. Present gifts to hospital c/w Santa.

Ed-209 has kindly offered to produce Santa Cruise 2009 stickers/decals for the cars - Hopefuly we'll have these available to purchase at the next meet .

Robert (STIpretender) has the donation sheets which we'll make available as soon as we get date finalised. He also has a Santa suit (I'm awaiting reply from our other 'Santa' !)

IMPORTANT !

We need a volunteer to make a few phone calls/emails to Yorkhill hospital to arrange a date and time and a call and letter to Strathclyde Police to let them know our intended route.

I normally do this part , but due to work and family commitments I won't be able to this year (I'm no longer allowed private calls , emails or internet at work. I'll also be in England on most of my days off as Ruths job has moved to Brum)

I have all the contact details from previous years and I'll pass them on to anyone who'll help .

PLEASE POST HERE OR PM ME ASAPIF YOU CAN HELP .

If no-one volunteers to help with this , the event won't happen

I hope we can work together to make 2009s event as successful as previous years have been

You beat me to it Peter !

I was going to ask you nicely over the weekend

You have done us proud and raised loads of money towards Santa Cruise (and other events) in previous years , so your offer for this year is very much appreciated

Thanks,

I'll speak to the PR people at Faslane and see if I can squeeze some cash / gifts out of Babcock marine and the Royal Navy.
