Christmas Kracker 21st December 2003

The day dawned fine and cold, just right for a Christmas event.

Santa arrived at the visitor’s centre in a horse drawn cart, which was kindly donated by Janet and Alan from Hasting Taxi’s. Titan, an 18 hand shire horse and his entourage were festively dressed and looked sensational.

Santa took up residence in his ice grotto and helped by Snowmen helpers from Manchester Youth Volunteers and a special little birthday girl named Hannah met the children and handed out presents.

MP Tony Lloyd dropped in to wish us all a merry Christmas and chat to Post Games Volunteers from New Deal and friends and family manning stalls etc.

In the marquee we enjoyed Christmas music provided by Boogie Nights disco, guess the name, topple the tins and bean bag games, a tuck shop, refreshments, Christmas card making and a raffle, (prizes donated by Asda Eastlands, Greggs Bakery and Manchester City Football Club).
Thanks to all who attended, Manchester Leisure staff and special thanks to all volunteers, who were, as usual, fantastic.

We hope to see you at our 2004
Easter and Halloween events.
