30th November - Santa Trip from Melksham
On Sunday, 30th November, Santa Claus will be travelling on the train from Melksham to Swindon and back, and handing out presents to all the children. The train leaves Melksham station at a quarter past five, and will be back just before 7 O'Clock.
Tickets (7 pounds for adults and 3 pounds for children) have just gone on sale at Melksham Tourist Information Centre - open Monday to Friday and on Saturday morning - and can also be bought from me at Well House Manor from Monday, 27th October. The price includes mince pies for the adults, who will also be given a glass of wine or soft drink, and presents for the children. Prebooking is essential, as Santa needs to know who's coming!
 Last year's "Santa Special" was a huge success - except that we were heavily oversubscribed and had to disappoint a lot of people who didn't book early. Picture - Santa in Swindon before he boarded the train.
This year, Santa will be with us both ways on the journey, so that he can talk to a lot more children, and we have moved the trip onto a day / time when the train won't be as busy with other crowds from Swindon. This does mean that it's very much a trip to see Santa this year, and you will not have six hours to shop (or to hand around!) in Swindon.
This trip is being organised by the Melksham Railway Development Group, of which I am a member (And I'm on the Santa Committee so I can help with any enquiries you may have!) (written 2008-10-19 10:51:49)
