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. More tickets have been sold for the 2021/2022 draw than in the previous year. Therefore the promoters have decided to increase the value of the prizes for 3rd, 4th and 5th and that there will be five prizes per month of £50, £30, £25, £20 and £15.
The result of the latest draw can be found on the Village News page, whilst the year's results to date are listed below.
