FATHER Christmas will take some time out of his busy December schedule to give presents to boys and girls at the Okehampton Rotary coffee morning on December 21.

With only a few days to go until Christmas Eve, Santa is very busy, but he will divert his sleigh to the Charter Hall for the coffee morning from 9.30am. Adults can go along to enjoy a refreshing drink while children meet jolly Saint Nick.

December has been a busy time for Okehampton Rotary, with several of its members collecting £943 for ShelterBox on December 6 and 7 outside Waitrose.

The club expressed thanks to Waitrose for allowing them to collect outside its store, to club members for giving their time to the collection, and to the public for their generous support.
