First things first, we would like to wish all of our customers and readers of our Blog a very merry Christmas and- in case we miss it for one reason or another...- a happy New Year. Wishing you all the very best for a fantastic 2014!We've been a busy team since the last time we updated- with December turning out to be a fantastic month for us with Sales at an all-time high for the time of year. Our annual mince pie and mulled wine event was a great success and we were also able to support our local Round Table in their quest to bring Santa to Barnstaple (& raise a phenomenal amount for local causes in the process!).
We lent Santa (and his helpers from the Barnstaple Round Table) a top-of-the-range Mitsubishi Shogun 4X4 to tow his sleigh around the town in their annual Santa Sleigh Runs. The tours continued for a fortnight, with trips all over the area including Roundswell, Newport, the Town Centre and, a new route for 2013, Landkey.
The tours were a huge success, raising an incredible £7031.30 for local charities (smashing their target of £6500 by some margin!) We were delighted to be able to help and loved seeing Santa driving past every evening as he started his journey. (Although he was sat on the cold sleigh behind, rather than in comfort watching a DVD in the back of the Shogun where we would have been ;))
A big congratulations to the Barnstaple and District Round Table and the people of Barnstaple for, yet again, getting behind what is a fantastic, fun, local attraction and helping it be such a success for the seventh year running.
