Every year, Lichfield Round Table leave the comfort of their arm chairs and venture out into the cold winter air to escort Santa around the streets of the Lichfield district, bringing Christmas cheer and magic to the people of the Lichfield District.
Santa and his helpers will be out from 1st December to the 23rd December collecting for the benefit of local good causes.
Each night Lichfield Round Table are joined by a local good cause to help escort Santa and knock on a few doors. The local good causes comprise of many different local charities, schools and community organisations.
Santa has outsourced a techie Elf this year, and enabled donations by text message. To donate £3, simply text, “LFRT15 £3” to 70070. 100% of the money will go to Lichfield Round Table Charity and be shared out with the local good causes helping on the routes.
Lichfield Round Table meet twice a month with the emphasis on a fun and varied social life. Their diary shows their full programme of events and oh - they occasionally go down the pub as well. Round Table makes no distinction between colour, creed, political persuasion, wealth or social standing - in fact - they don’t even mind what football team you support! There are about 25 blokes in Lichfield Round Table and they welcome anyone who wishes to join as long as they are male and older than 18 and younger than 45 (sorry, no old fogeys allowed!).
