The ticket sellers on Saturday evening were particularly amused with the enthusiasm of one young man, who was totally intrigued with the toy header which was one of the prizes and made several enquiries about buying it throughout the evening.
Fate was on his side as he actually did win the header!
The results of the raffle were: First prize Leo Antonios; second Fay Williams, third Rick and Brax Barton.
