Many thanks to all the members and supporters who bought tickets in support of the West Kent 2017 Summer Draw.
The eight participating Associations raised around £7500 profit between them (this was after paying for the tickets, buying the prizes and covering the cost of printing and postage). This is a magnificent result, especially as so many members made a generous contribution to the General Election Fighting Fund Appeal just a few weeks beforehand.
The Rt Hon Greg Clark (Member of Parliament for Tunbridge Wells) picked the winning numbers today (see photo), and the lucky winners are as follows:
1st Prize - £500 cash: R Thomas of Shipbourne (ticket number: 19323)
2nd Prize - Lunch for Two at Simpson's in the Strand: Mr D R Greig of Crowborough (24371)

Collection / delivery of prizes: the winners of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes will receive their prize through the post in the next few days. Winners of the Champagne and the Memories of Maggie books will have their prize delivered by a local volunteer sometime in September (as the cost of posting would be prohibitive).
