Help Kingston Round Table save its annual Santa's Sleigh by attending its charity comedy night this weekend (Image supplied)

 Kingston Round Table is your local branch of Round Table; an international social organisation of ordinary guys aged between 18 and 45 years who meet up every other Thursday night to do some random activity then go for a beer afterwards.

The group also likes to support the local community and have fun whilst doing so.

The Kingston branch is known for its annual Santa's Sleigh, which it runs over four nights to collect money for local causes and spread festive cheer.

Last year, after a successful recruitment campaign, Kingston Round Table was able to resurrect Santa's Sleigh. Whilst the group says it had "great fun", it admits that it has ran into a problem this year.

Santa is in need of a new suit and some repairs to his Sleigh. Thus, the Kingston branch is hosting a comedy night called Save our Santa - SOS. Money raised from the night will help with Santa's repairs.

Early bird Tickets cost £17.50 and are available to buy now here.
