Easter Egg Raffle

Easter EggsThe Easter Egg Raffle has been a feature of the club for some five or six years now and is a successful fundraising event. Large eggs are purchased from Thorntons who decorate them with the Club details.

Our raffle this year had twelve eggs placed with local pubs and restaurants and while in previous years we have had as many as eighteen eggs we managed to make the same profit of over £800.00.

Many thanks to those businesses and their customers who supported the cause and this money will be put towards the upcoming Queen’s Birthday Tea.
