One comment she made was "Isn't it a relief to know there won't be a raffle?"

Sounds like a girl who can't say no ;)

We at Marlow always have a raffle,usually with either wine or CDs as prizes,plus a mystery prize----last night it was Bendicks Dark Chocolate Bitter Mints,which the winners chose ! We don't have paid "guests" at our club, so the money thus raised ,for the last two years anyway,goes to subsidise (for club regulars)our hearty Christmas Dinner at one of our more salubrious venues.

Despite the request to 'Name Names' I WONT ! Suffice to say that it was thirty years or so back , and the Artist in question is STILL Packing them in ! We have had a laugh about it at a festival , not too long after the Raffle incident !

One of our local session pubs held a quiz and raffle to raise money for a cancer day-care centre.
One of the prizes was a donkey and when the number was drawn the guv'nor brought it in and presented it to the winner.
