Please vote for me to be your Mencap Santa because:

1) Why does Mencap need its very own Santa?

A little festive cheer at this special time of year goes a long way to brightening up people's lives, and seeing these burly rugby players trying to fit down the chimney on Christmas morning has to be worth the donation money alone!

2) What special qualities do you have that would make you the Perfect Santa for 2008?

Rugby players tend to be at their best under the mistletoe during the festive party season, and eating all those mince pies that you leave out on Christmas eve should pose little problem to people with appetities like ours!

3) Santa is responsible for upholding the magic and the spirit of Christmas.If you could grant your company one wish this Christmas what would it be?

A few victories to warm up our supporters during the cold winter months would be most welcome, but in all seriousness Christmas is a time to think of those less fortunate than ourselves, and to spread some yuletide spirit wherever we can.

Many Thanks and Merry Christmas
