Village Lottery
The Hall Committee introduced the monthly lottery draw in January 2006 as part of its fund-raising efforts.
​
Subscriptions are £25 per annum. This entitles entry into 12 monthly draws. The two independent checkers are Karl Drover and Lindsay Quirk.
​
The proceeds are split so that a minimum of 50% is allocated to the prize fund with the remainder going to Village Hall funds.
​
The prize fund is dependent on the number of tickets sold overall, which varies from year to year. The number of tickets that have been sold for the 2023/2024 draw has allowed the promoters award five prizes of £50, £35, £30, £25 and £20 every month.
​
The result of the latest draw can be found on the Village News page, whilst the year's results to date are listed below.
