At our feedback last January, you said that you liked LOTS of prizes in the raffles so let’s try and make this year’s Christmas Raffle the best ever!To make our Christmas Raffle at our Luncheon a great success and raise lots of money for our worthy local causes, we need your help. 

Please donate generously any of the following:

Festive and Gourmet Food items including biscuits, cakes, savoury gourmet tins, nuts, dried fruits, Drink, Wine, Chocolates and anything else you think would go in a Christmas hamper. 

We are also accepting non food new and/or unused items for our raffle. 

We would like to include items for our children's activity basket too so any unused/new games and or puzzles for this would be great…

Please bring any donations to our usual coffee morning at Vathis Taverna on Wednesday 13^th November at 10a.m. until 12noon

Looking forward to seeing you there!
