Not running a Christmas Sleigh Evesham Vale Lions hit on a different idea for fundraising but still with a Christmas theme.

A giant chocolate Father Christmas was purchased from John Bull Confectioners of Wetherby and a decision made to raffle it in aid of local children’s charities. The Strawberry Fields public house in Evesham was decided on as the most suitable venue and an ambitious 2,000 raffle tickets purchased.

All 2,000 tickets were duly sold and so £1,000 was raised.
