SANTA starts a tour of Potters Bar this Sunday as the Rotary Club Christmas sleigh slides into action.

The annual charity event, which raises money for both domestic and international causes, will see Father Christmas accompany a decorated sleigh manned by a giant polar bear.

From December 21 to Christmas Eve, Rotarians will park the sleigh in Tesco car park in Mutton Lane.

Charity Christmas cards are also being organised by the Potters Bar Rotary Club, which are available in packs of ten for £6 from Rotarian John Godfrey at Accident & Repair Centre in High Street.
