SANTA is getting ready to tour the street of Balsall Common this year – while maintaining social distancing.
The Balsall Common Lions will bring Father Christmas and his sleigh to neighbourhoods in the run-up to Christmas – with a few changes to the usual routine.
Volunteers will not be knocking on doors for donations to local good causes this year, so an online donation page at https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/14593.
Santa is asking everyone to keep their distance so there’s no chance anyone gets poorly and has to self isolate so asks crowds do not gather along the route and children do not go up to him but instead cheer and wave as he goes by.
