December Draw

Our December draw took place as usual at the New Years Eve party, and what a party atmosphere there was! It is also the occasion for the 2nd "Big Draw" of the year.
There had been a session of "Simply Red" songs and then the wonderful buffet which Rick had prepared for us.
After everyone had had their fill we managed to extricate the Captain, Lady Captain and the President to pull out the lucky numbers for us.
The Captain was asked to pick the big one and out came number 56. This belongs to Joe Holten who now lives in Ireland but just happened to be over for New Years Eve. Well worth the trip I think, and it was said that he could help the Irish debt crisis with his £860!
We were delighted that we had the winner present so Mr Captain could present him with his cheque.

Then we carried on with the usual monthly draw. Mr President pulled out the first prize number 166 which belongs to Simon Poucher and he will be the lucky recipient of £649.

Lady Captain did the honours next and pulled number 82 out of the box. Howard Stockwell was the lucky owner and will pick up a cheque for £173.

Lastly the third monthly prize was picked by an elf helper! She pulled 199 out and to our delight the owner of this number was also present. It was Peter Broadbent who won £43. I think there was an extra round of drinks bought!

So an enjoyable end to another very successful 200 club year.

A big thank you to all the members of the 200 club and look forward to seeing more improvements around the club next year courtesy of you input.

Don't forget that January is the time for those who pay by cash or cheque to do so. It needs to be done before January 20th so that you are in next months draw which will be on Friday January 27th 2012.

Happy New year to all and hope your number is picked during the coming year!
