Father Christmas is to pay his annual visit from Lapland to Glossop Station on Saturday 7th December! Friends of Glossop Station are holding their Christmas Gala at the Station between 11.00 and 1.00pm. The Friends are hoping to put up the Christmas decorations at the Station from Tuesday 2nd December - designed by Bunty Gibson and Chris Harris. Music for the Gala will be provided by the popular Altrincham based trio SPINDRIFT. Christmas Craftmaking under the direction of Andrea Strogen, ably supported by Lesley Nixon, will be available for all children - wooden designs being supplied by Simon Denvers. The making of decorations for the Christmas tree is always popular! The tree has been kindly given to us by GLOSSOP GARDEN CENTRE. Glossop Model Railway Club will have a seasonal layout on display and children can have a go at controlling the trains!! There will also be a seasonal raffle, the first prize being a Family Travel Voucher for Northern Rail. At 11.20 the Christmas Tree lights will be switched on by our guest, ADRIAN THOMPSON Head of Human Resources at Northern Rail. Adrian paid a visit to Glossop earlier this year as part of a Meet the Directors' session on a cold March evening. His good humour and willingness to listen made him a number one choice as guest for this task! We thank Adrian for accepting the invite! And then the exciting arrival of Father Christmas on the train, scheduled for 11.48. Santa will then walk with the children to the Waiting Room where every child will be given a free gift. We are hoping Matthew Cox of Glossop Tours may be able to join Santa in pantomime costume! Do come along and join in the fun!! We thank as always Northern Rail for their support of this event and in particular Don Jary, Client and Stakeholder Manager West and Theo McLauchlan, Glossop Line Manager.
