Raffles - Lotto Draw

As mentioned in the last newsletter there is a new committee to organise raffles. Their first initiative is to run some promotions on the Lotto bonus number. It's $2 a number and runs for 10 weeks ($20 to pay up front). Winner $30 and one off each side $10.

Still working on the logistics, but going forward arrangements will be made with barstaff to accept payments and pay out winnings. You can also deal with Barney (Brent Gardner) at the club when you see him.

This idea was floated last week at the AGM and the first sheet of 40 numbers was sold promptly to members and associates attending.

Hence the first draw was on Saturday 4th July, the winners were as follows:

Bonus Number = 28

• Winner - Julie Adams
• One offs - Arthur Taylor & Beachball

This is a relatively painless and fun way to put a few more dollars in the club coffers and Brent is keen to fill another sheet as soon as possible. Feel free to contact Brent on 021505064 or pop in on Thursday Club Night.

Raffles Team: 

Geoff Bills, Brent Gardner and Mark Fuller
