A season's best for the Pound for the Ground draw

A season’s best for the Pound for the Ground drawThe winning number at the Nantwich match was 0002 and the total number of tickets sold was a season’s best, so far, of £920; of which £200 was paid to the lucky winner before the half time oranges were sucked dry! A lucky winner indeed, as the recipient had previously won the Twelfth Man competition - rumour has it that he is going for three in a row with the Holiday Draw. Of course £720 will be paid into the Development Fund.

Just a reminder that if you have a losing PFTG ticket, there is a £5 off voucher which can be spent at your local Wyndsors Shoes and they have promised us some more sponsorship money if they get 50-plus vouchers exchanged by the New Year.

The barrels were emptied at full time and with 70 Euros exchanged for pounds sterling, they were off to a flying start. £256 was the final total which included £15 of ASDA gift vouchers, which were changed into cash by one of the buckateers, who was spotted on Sunday doing his weekly shop and trying to redeem the out-of-date vouchers. Fortunately a very helpful customer services lady redeemed them for him. In addition there were 30 Euros, a few US dollars and a sprinkling of foreign notes and coins.

So, that’s a running total for the season of £4,619 for PFTG and the barrels with only six weeks gone. We’re rendered speechless, well almost . . .
