Today we had the Friends of Priory Fields Xmas Raffle Draw at 3.pm at the Pitman room of the Village Hall. Due to the Wet weather there weren't many present but the draw went well with some lovely prizes as usual. We would like to Thank "Kelly Bronze" for the main prize, they have supported us for many years and we are very grateful. Thanks Phil, Paul & Derek. Also we would like to thank Priory Stores for selling our tickets and supplying a prize + The Danbury & Bicknacre Football club for selling tickets, plus all the other lovely people who bought tickets, supplied prizes etc. We wish everybody a very Merry Xmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year

Our Christmas Raffle Tickets are now available from Priory Village Store, the Football Club Tea Hut on the sports fields or from any member of the Friends. If you require any and have difficulty getting out please ring 01245 222887 and we can drop some off. This year we have some expensive projects as in
another new bridge to replace the footbridge up to the Arch. Also a New Gate between us and Priors Fields. We unfortunately will not have ticket sales at the Swan, the Xmas Market or at the draw as the Carols service at the shops followed by the draw at the school will not be happening. This will have a huge effect on ticket sales. The draw will be held at the Pitman Room [Memorial Hall].
Please buy Tickets as it is our only fundraising event this year.
Any Raffle prizes would be gratefully Appreciated
