The Carol Tour has started – so it must be nearly Christmas!

Father Christmas and his festive float will be at Tesco on Friday & Saturday 12th & 13th and 19th & 20th and also at Macknade Fine Foods on Sunday 21st December.

The float will of course be touring the town as well in the evenings from Monday 8th to Friday 19th December.

Have a look on https://favershamrotary.org/carol-tour to see where and when you can see the float. You can also find out how to track Santa’s progress each evening between 6pm and 8pm.

Please come out to say hello and donate money to charity if you are able.

The Rotary Club of Faversham has been running the Carol Tour for over 60 years and it is the main fundraising event for the Club. Money raised is used to support local good causes such as Age UK, Umbrella Centre, Food Bank, and many many more.

A group of fifty-six members, partners and friends enjoyed a pre-Christmas dinner on Saturday 6th December.

This year the venue was the Red Lion, Hernhill where the upstairs room had been beautifully decorated.

Guests chose two or three courses from the Christmas menu. The food certainly looked good – and tasted even better.

A light-hearted quiz found out how much – or how little – we know about Christmas and the local area.

What a great start to a busy Festive season for the club!

Club members will be busy in the next few weeks making Christmas “deliveries” across the town.

Advent calendars have already gone to the Foodbank.

Mince pies and chocolates will go to the residents of Cooksditch, Carnalea, Canterbury House and the Almshouses. Cards from pupils at St Mary of Charity Primary and Davington Primary schools will also be delivered after the 15th.

The Umbrella centre will receive mince pies.

Christmas posters from St Mary’s and Davington school pupils will go on display in the tourist information centre from December 15th until the New Year. Do call in to see the colourful images drawn by some of the town’s younger artists.
