World Record

[molly]

As you may be aware I come from Derry in Northern Ireland and today the City Council arranged to beat the world record for the most Santa's.

Everyone taking part had to register and paid £10 and this money is being divided between 3 local charities - Children in Crossfire, Foyle Hospice, and McMillan Cancer Care.

The world record was broken last week in Las Vegas with 7296 Santa's and today we broke that record again with over 13,000 registered Santa's.

As far as I am aware Sydney, Australia are now trying to beat that record.

Well Done everyone.

As an official ambassador for Derry, can I say how *chuffed* I was ?

Alderman Drew Thompson who is the Mayor for Derry City Council, (also my mate) Was one of the Santas.

Thanks for the pickies Molly XXX
