In addition to the fabulous sponsorship from PlantGrow, we have been overwhelmed by the generosity of various companies and individuals who have donated the raffle prizes listed below, which will be open to attendees on the night!
Please bring cash for the raffle. This will mean that all donations go to the charity (card processing fees are quite high).
The raffle format is by closed envelope. So instead of raffle tickets, to fold, tear, draw out etc, we will be selling sealed envelopes for £5 each, many of which will contain a raffle prize! Look out for us at the drinks reception and at intervals. We will all open the envelopes TOGETHER after the awards and then claim our prizes.
