On behalf of the Parwich Independent Welfare Fund….

On Saturday January 29^th, Parwich Legion allowed us to hold a fundraising event in their club room, hosted by the Oddfellows, to raise money for the fund which supports members of our community when they need it.

The event was so well supported that we managed to raise a total of £2,380, which is a fantastic amount. A major part of this was the auction, which raised £1,060.

We would like to thank all those who donated all the raffle prizes, auction produce, knitted products, and cash donations we received, we were absolutely overwhelmed with the amount of items donated in support of our cause. We would equally like to thank all those people who bought tickets for our event and varying raffles, draws and the quiz as well as those who made winning bids for our auction lots (and those who helped to get the bids up) and all those who supported us on the night.

We would also like to thank the following who helped make this event run so smoothly:

• The Loyal and Laurel Crown Lodge (Parwich Oddfellows) Bill, Rob, Jimmy, Mick and Roy for staffing the BBQ, managing our ticket sales, delivery leaflets and supporting us throughout.
• Rob for running the Mr and Mistress competition,
• ”Dolly Dealer” Gill,
• Karen for helping with the raffle,
• Auctioneer legend Paul
• Bar-person extraordinaire Sarah for keeping all the glasses full.
• Parwich Legion for allowing us told hold the event, for their generous donation and for supporting our ticket offer.

Some of the night’s winners were:

• Guess the name of the bear: Dave S
• 4.5 gallon bottle of whisky: John W
• Mr and Mistress: Jacqui J and Alan S
• Quiz: 1^st Lucy M, 2^nd The Brants, joint 3^rd Janice W & Ed L.
• Play Your Cards Right “big winners”: James S and Carl W
