Is there a winner among these tickets? Mayor searches for a 5 or a 0 while Jo Fisher and Jonathan Bowles, a member and fibromite who is doing a sponsored skydive in August to raise finds for the Group, look on. Jonathan organised the monster tombola to raise funds for the cost of the skydive. Sponsor forms are available from the office.



The Mayor picked two winning tickets and collected two candles from Jonathan who was delighted Councillor Jeanette Warr had won prizes.
