3rd Anniversary Draw:
The draw was an entertaining event, people began to arrive at around 6pm
for drinks, nibbles and to buy tickets. It didn't take long for the shop
to fill up, but the intimate size did encourage people to interact. The
weather was good to us, the mornings rain gave way to a warm dry evening
allowing the spread of the ticket holders to the outdoors.
Internet ticket sales were
suspended at 6pm and final sales rounded up at 7pm in order to get the
duplicates ready for the draw. At around 7.30pm the draw began and 9
prizes were given away. Disappointingly for those who turned out for the
draw, nobody present won a prize. The prize winners have been posted on
the web page as well as the film of the draw taking place.

Many thanks to all those who
participated and supported this event.
