AN APPEAL has been made for someone to come forward and house a Rotary Club’s Santa float.
The Dukinfield and Stalybridge branch cannot use its usual base of Tameside Council’s Tame Street facility this year.
So it has put a call out for anyone who can offer local temporary accommodation for the festive attraction, which tours the area in the run up to Christmas.
The period of usage will be from Monday, December 2 until Sunday, December 22. On weekdays, members will look to collect the float at about 6pm and bring it back no later than 9.30pm.
On Saturday and Sunday, collection will be at 9,30 am returning at 4.30 pm.
A spokesperson for Dukinfield and Stalybridge Rotary said: “Having access to a facility which is dry and warm is very useful when we need to dry things out on rainy evenings.
“Ideally, what we are looking for is a secure working depot which has extensive working hours.”
*ANYONE who could help Dukinfield and Stalybridge Rotary is asked to contact club secretary Brendan Lomas by email at brendan.lomas@outlook.com.
