Santa is flying back to the North Pole after his last visit to Thurrock's streets with the Rotary Club of Grays Thurrock. That is until he returns on 24 Dec with his sleigh piled high with lovely Christmas Presents for all on his Good List.

On behalf of Santa and all our volunteers can I say a massive thank you to everyone who came out to see us and made such generous donations to our collections. It was great to see so many groups of children as we went around (and their equally excited adults!)

If you were unable to donate we will be outside Morrisons in Corringham and Tesco in Lakeside or you can donate on-line.

13 Dec - Santa will be around Grays area from 5pm. (Note that this is an hour earlier than our weekday start times)

You can use our Santa Tracker to keep a watch on his progress. It has been intermittent over the past couple of days but we hope it will be better this evening. www.glympse.com/!graysrotary

We are now over half way through our routes and thank everyone who has come out to see Santa and contributed to our collections for Children's Charities.

12 Dec - Santa will be around Woodside area from 6pm.

There are big issues with EE in the area which affects our Santa Tracker. It does work but there can be a few minutes delay in it updating. Sorry, there is nothing we can do about this. www.glympse.com/!graysrotary

We and Santa are astonished with how many of you come out to see him. Hopefully this will be another good evening and lots of children will say, "Hello to Santa". And we can say, "Merry Christmas" to you all.

Anyone trying to use the Santa Tracker tonight will notice an issue with it stopping for a period of time and they appearing again in an odd location. Unfortunately this is caused by a known fault with EE masts in the area. This is unlikely to be fixed in the next week so may affect other routes too.

It seems that patience is the way to go as the signal does get through but there may be a few minutes delay.

11 Dec - Santa will be around Blackshots area from 6pm.

We have just got back from visiting so many lovely young people who came out to say 'hello' to Santa. It was great to see you all. Many followed him on our Santa Tracker which was working again tonight after some fiddling from the Elves. www.glympse.com/!graysrotary

Santa was obviously in party mood and danced his way around. I wonder what he will get up to tonight?

10 Dec - Santa will be around Rectory Road - North area from 6pm.

Last night we were in Tilbury and were really pleased so many of you still managed to find us even though the Santa Tracker was not working and Rudolph's navigation skills were lacking. Well be working on the Santa Tracker and hope you will be able to check on his progress in future www.glympse.com/!graysrotary

Santa has his feet up after an exhausting evening in Tilbury so he will be fully refreshed for tomorrow.
