The Glasgow area Santa Cruise will take place on Sunday 10th December .


We will have a convoy through the city with the cars done up in Christmas decorations , tinsel etc (prize for best decorated car ?) - route to be confirmed .
The convoy will arrive at Yorkhill Childrens Hospital at 1pm where 'Scooby-blue' Santa and his elfs will hand over presents .


I have spoken to Yorkhill Hospitals PR girl Lorraine who will deal with informing the newspapers , local radio etc as well as arranging  parking and unloading of presents at the hospital .


Yorkhill have been quite specific about what we can/can't give as presents - so we would prefer cash donations . We will then use that to buy the kind of presents that the hospital would like for the kids.


Imy (micra_wrc) has some sponsor/donation sheets available which STI pretender kindly made up . These will be handed out to everyone at the November Glasgow meet - anyone who can't make it to the meet , or who'd like their sheet sooner - please contact Imy (micra_wrc) or Robert (STI pretender)


Peter (Fai17) is running a raffle which will be drawn at the SIDC Christmas meal being held at his restaurant (Kwang Tung , George st ,Paisley)
All raffle money and profits from the meal are going towards presents .
We are still looking for some more raffle prizes - the more the merrier .
Raffle tickets are already available from Peter in person or by post - see here http://forums.sidc.co.uk/forums/809433/ShowPost.aspx


We are looking for stickers for the cars IE Scottish Scoobies Santa Cruise 2006 and  www.scottishscoobies.co.uk  if anyone has any contacts who could help with this please let us know ASAP .


We are also looking for large poster(s) with Scottish Scoobies Santa Cruise 2006 and www.scottishscoobies.co.uk to display who we are ,before the convoy and when parked at the hospital - again , anyone who can help us with this , please get in touch ASAP.


We are looking for a good turnout on the day - the PR girl said that previous years had been great and really cheered up the kids , so lets try to make this years another good one .


Thanks ,
Al.

nice one Ally.

for anyone that wants to be involved in buying presents, I'll bring along copies of a summary sheet that I've made up listing the type of presents that Yorkhill prefer with me to the November Glasgow meet.

If you are not able to attend the meet, drop me an email (micra_wrcATyahoo.co.uk) and I'll email you the sheet.

I can also email out the donation form for those that can print it off themselves.

If you dont have access to a printer, PM me your postal address and I'll stick the donation form and summary from Yorkhill in the post for ya.

Hi James ,

I think everything is covered in the posts above .

Basicly , the Glasgow area event this year involves everyone meeting at 11AM December 10th at Asda Robroyston (Bishopbriggs) for 12 midday  departure with the cars done up in Christmas decorations . We then drive through Glasgow centre (inc George square) to Yorkhill Hospital for 1pm , and donate loads of presents which we have bought with money raised at various events throughout the year ... Scooby Santa has promised to appear - if we are all good [:D]

Any questions just PM me

or , if you'd like to get a  sheet to collect donations from friends , family or workmates , then PM Imy (micra_wrc) as mentioned above.

Glasgow area will have a meet on the 7th December at the Brewers Fayre Hillington 7 for 7:30 to finalise last details , see you there if you can make it .

Al.

Ally,

Me and Jen have already bought a toy for the Yorkhill Santa Cruise. It's a fisher-Price train thingy (same as the one our Hollie at 16months loves!)

Will this be ok or would a cash donation be better 'cos we could give the train away as a prezzy to future nephews/nieces etc.

Cash donation is not a problem though, is PayPal an option?

Alan.
