We were there from 10.30 till 2.30!\u00a0 However, he kept up the good cheer and the looks on the faces of youngsters as they spotted him was worth every moment of cold and wet.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2137\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2137\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"\/lichfield\/files\/2015\/12\/1-IMG_0332.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-2137\" src=\"\/lichfield\/files\/2015\/12\/1-IMG_0332-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Soroptimister Santa!\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2137\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Soroptimister Santa!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2138\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2138\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/lichfield\/files\/2015\/12\/2-IMG_0329.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-2138\" src=\"\/lichfield\/files\/2015\/12\/2-IMG_0329-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Gift Bags for Ladies - very popular!\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2138\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gift Bags for Ladies &#8211; very popular!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2139\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2139\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"\/lichfield\/files\/2015\/12\/3-IMG_0326.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-2139\" src=\"\/lichfield\/files\/2015\/12\/3-IMG_0326-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Tombola, another popular stand\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2139\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tombola, another popular stand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2140\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2140\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"\/lichfield\/files\/2015\/12\/4-IMG_0327.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-2140\" src=\"\/lichfield\/files\/2015\/12\/4-IMG_0327-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Lesley &amp; Kath's Jewellery always does well!\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2140\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lesley &amp; Kath&#8217;s Jewellery always does well!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday was a wild wet day in Lichfield!\u00a0 Although there were many events in the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":561,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Salvation Army Fundraiser for their Women&#039;s Refuge - \u00a3780 I think! | News | Blog | Events | SI Lichfield and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Lichfield and District : Blog &amp; News : Salvation Army Fundraiser for their Women&#039;s Refuge - \u00a3780 I think! : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Lichfield and District .
