Santa's coming to town!
 
 
Wynnum and Manly Santa refurbishment project has been in full swing!  The Santas displayed on local businesses have been an iconic part of Christmas in the Bayside area for over 40 years.   Our club has been proud to run this project for 28 of those years. In 2024, club members have been working hard, just like Santa's elves replacing old Santas and our new ones are ready to go!  Thank you to Bunnings Manly West, Taubmans, Wynnum Manly and Districts Men's Shed for their generous sponsorship of this year's refurbishment project. 
 
If you are interested in purchasing one of our Santas to display in your home or business, please contact Bill Simpson to find out more.
