Christmas Post: How it works.
Each year, in December, 2nd Ulverston Scout Group offers a Christmas card delivery service to Ulverston, Lindal, Bardsea, Swarthmoor, Pennington and Gleaston.
It works in a similar way to the regular postal service, but with 3 subtle differences.
- You buy our stamps, at only £1.20 for a sheet of 8. (that’s 15p each) Outlets listed below.
- You use our special post boxes, situated in the places listed below.
- You don’t need the regular postcode, but instead use an area letter as follows:
Ulverston is divided into 5 areas (A) – (E) see map.
Bardsea (F)
Gleaston (G)
Lindal (L)
Swarthmoor and Pennington (S)
Post boxes are emptied, sorted and delivered twice weekly throughout December.
