SALE OF ART AND JEWELLERY
Our sales team organises events throughout the year. They depend entirely on the generosity of Friends' supporters and other wellwishers for donations of artwork and items of jewellery. Such items are warmly accepted at the Friends' office at any time. Visit the "Art" and "Jewellery" sections of our Image Gallery for details of some of the items currently available to buy. For dates of sales see the Events and Activities. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = RESULTS OF THE PEACOCK LOTTERY DRAW 1 - 31ST AUGUST 2010 (drawn by volunteer Eve McClean) Available pot £510.00 (204 memberships x £10 divided by 4) 1st prize 345 - Michael Prescott, Romford - £306.00 (60% of pot) 2nd prize 157 - G Tomlinson, Wallington - £127.50 (25% of pot) 3rd prize 265 - Elspeth Clarke, Morden - £76.50 (15% of pot) NEXT DRAW TUESDAY 30TH NOVEMBER 2010 This popular fundraising initiative is based on the "100 Club" format but not restricted to a specific number of participants.
