He and his helpers from the Rotary Club of Wakefield would like to say a very big thank you to the residents of Sandal and Wrenthorpe whose generosity is much appreciated. They enjoyed their tour and believe that they brightened up the evening for many people, especially the small ones.

He even turned out in it at the club's Christmas meal, where he is pictured here, to add to his total. Clicking the photo reveals a further page with images from the Christmas meal.
