MEMBERS of Frome Lions and Rotary Clubs will be assisting Father Christmas on his travels around Frome and surrounding villages next month.
The Lions’ Christmas float makes its first trip on Saturday 2nd December and continues until Friday 22nd December.
Father Christmas would ask that residents are considerate when parking their vehicles on the day of his visit in order that as many people, young and old, can enjoy this long-standing Frome spectacle.
All monies raised by the float will be used by the Lions and Rotary Clubs in their local charitable work.
