Beverley Westwood Lions Club had a visit from the Mayor of Beverley Peter Astell who had been invited by the club to check out their sleigh.
In the build up to Christmas, the Beverley Westwood Lions will be taking the sleigh to a number of events and locations in the town.
The sleigh will also be used so they can take Father Christmas on a around the streets of Beverley.
A spokesperson for the Beverley Westwood Lions, who were only formed in May of this year said;
“As there was already a Lions Club in Beverley, the members of the new Club have worked on some completely new projects.”
“We have already been taking our Lions Tombola to events in the area, and this has proven popular with both young and old.”
“Most of their members also helped with the annual Bonfire and Fireworks on Beverley Westwood this month.”
“For several months, work has been progressing on a new sleigh which will be used to bring Christmas cheer to the people of Beverley.”
“As a club we were delighted when the Mayor of Beverley came along to test the sleigh before it is shown to the public.”
