I have thanks for so many people. First of all to the lovely sponsors – the Theatre Royal, hotels, restaurants, supermarkets and Drusillas, the Sealife Centre and the Wheel, without their help there wouldn’t be a raffle.

To my wonderful helpers on the stall, Gail, Ray, Ruby, Leah, Madeleine and Sheila, who worked so hard. However, here is the proof that this was a community involvement.

I’ve been telling them how much spending on their ‘good value’ raffle went towards them personally helping the park.

This year we were faced with an extra expense, unexpected, necessary in putting on this event. The raffle they invested in has paid for that. So big, big thanks to the people of Queens Park, also the brilliant raffle sponsors and helpers, plus we had a bumper event, which everyone enjoyed, from the youngest to the oldest. So thank you everyone.
