Obituary – Dave Godwin
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dave Godwin, a cherished member of the Burghfield Santas and the broader community.
Dave was a phenomenal human being, whose kindness and dedication touched countless lives.
For over a decade, he served as a committed Parish Councillor, and for 25 years, he was a devoted school governor at Burghfield St Mary’s.
Dave’s passion for our community shone through during his 15 years of organizing the Burghfield May Fayre, working tirelessly way before the event – and always being the last to leave site having overseen the final clean up, to the annual Burghfield Remembrance parade and even organising the Christmas tree on the Hatch.
As a Burghfield Santa Dave was famed for his expression ‘Leave it with me mate’. Nothing was too much trouble to make community events a success, and once the phrase had been uttered – it was guaranteed to be done, down to the smallest details, including the Fire Extinguishers serviced and available to buckets of sand for cigarette butts outside the marquees.
His incredible contributions and unwavering spirit will be sorely missed as a true unsung hero of our village. Our thoughts and prayers are with Dave’s family and friends during this difficult time.
RIP Santa Dave
Santa Cruise
This is where it all started when a group of mates went out for a few drinks after making and wrapping many presents. We wore our red suits and raised a little money for the Thames Valley Air Ambulance.
This year, there was an event for mini-Santas as well. They all got a copy of the Burghfield Santa’s story book, “The Boy Who Nearly Wrecked Christmas”, staring an Air Ambulance of course.
Here is a sneak preview…

How can I help?
Our events would not be possible without the support of our volunteers. We are currently looking for volunteers for the Burghfield Box Kart Bash.
We need a small army of Volunteers to help make the event the best it can be. Without you guys, we cannot run these events, so please sign up and bring a friend or two with you for good measure.
We’re using SignUp.com to manage this. Here’s how it works in 3 easy steps:
- Go to our SignUp page on SignUp.com
- Review the options listed and choose the spot(s) you like.
- Sign up! It’s Easy – you will NOT need to register an account or keep a password on SignUp.com.

Can I sponsor an event?
Sponsoring a Burghfield Santa’s event is a great way to increase your visibility within the local RG7 community and also supports a very worth-while cause.
Sponsorship opportunities include sponsoring a trophy at BoxKart, displaying your logo on the Burghfest beer glasses or even Adopting a Santa!
Sponsorship opportunities start at £50.
If you are interested, please contact us at admin@burghfieldsantas.org.uk.

Do you have the appropriate permits for your events?
All Burghfield Santa events that are attended by the general public are organised in accordance with UK legislation. We have the necessary permissions and licenses to host public events in public places. This includes:
 |
This license governs the use of copyright music across the UK, giving businesses and organisations the legal permission they need to play the music they want. These licences ensure that music publishers, songwriters and composers are fairly rewarded with royalties so they can keep making music. |
 |
PPL collects and distributes money on behalf of performers and record companies for the use of their recorded music. |
 |
|
 |
A temporary event notice (TEN) allow us to hold one-off licensable events at unlicensed premises without the need for a premises license, club premises certificate or the presence of a personal license holder, provided certain criteria are met. |
I still have a question?
