Not the winning ticket! |
The tickets went on sale in early January at various locations around Chorlton-cum-Hardy until the draw on 7th March 2014.
We are indebted to all those who donated prizes, 10 in all, for the raffle.

Stef Underhill drawing the winning ticket |
We are also indebted to all those who sold tickets on our behalf, not just those who donated the prizes but others including the Post Box Cafe, Chorlton Eatery, Chorlton Bookshop, Elliotts Greengrocers and K-Style Barbers.
Without your help we would not have raised as much money.
The draw was held at the Christie Charity during the afternoon of the 7th March, the ticket stubs being mixed up in a tombola, before Stef Underhill from the Christie pulled out the winning tickets.
We are rather glad that she did, and not one of us, as the results were quite extraordinary. The set of keys, donated by Chorlton Locksmiths, was won by Chorlton Locksmiths.

Peter Topping presenting the first prize to Mark Canny |
We have been delighted to have been able to hand out the prizes to the winners who represented a broad cross section of Chorlton life (and further afield).
Mark Canny accepted the first prize from Peter Topping a week after the draw outside the Bowling Green Hotel, a prize which will hang proudly inside the bar!
And, ok, so far, we have raised about £600 from the raffle and from other collections, which is well short of our rather ambitious target of £2,000. We are not giving up yet as we have planned showings of "Cry England!" during the coming months, and fingers crossed, more money will be raised!
