Our lucky cash raffle winners from Westival have all been in to collect their prizes. It's such a joyous task each year, handing an envelope of cash over to three very delighted people! Jackie (pictured above) scooped the £500 top prize - the extended silence on the end of the phone when we told her was priceless! Peter took away £300 - an excellent reward for sweltering on the field all afternoon promoting Individuality Swimming. Carol received £200; this was her first Westival as a relatively new resident to West Moors, but Carol has assured us she'll now be a regular! Two other winners came to collect their hampers of wine donated by our Town Councillors. Thank you to the Councillors who manned the raffle stall on the day! Thanks to everyone for playing, and congratulations again to this year's winners. Next year, it could be you! Read More...
