Mayor’s Charity Ball makes loads of dosh
Last night was the Mayor’s Charity Ball. The Abbey Hall was transformed by drapes and balloons. There was a lot going on for the £45 ticket price. During the meal there was music by a string quartet from Abingdon School. A charity auction followed.
There was a back to front raffle where everybody was given a prize and then asked for money and given a gift aid form. One raffle prize was a signed picture of the Mayor in Morris Dancer’s dress which is likely to be auctioned by the winner on Ebay to make more dosh for the Mayor’s Charities: Abingdon Bridge and The Fire Fighter’s Charity.
There was also entertainment by Kevin Tomlinson, and then music by Full Circle. Congratulations to those who gave their services for free and helped raise so much money.
Have you got the unclaimed lottery ticket?
If you have the numbers 9,21,35,38,46,49 on a lottery ticket bought in Abingdon and the date says 18 Dec 2010 it will be worth £956,813.
The national lottery have not said where it was purchased exactly, “because if it was bought in a small community we could compromise that person’s anonymity“. But I suspect the unclaimed ticket could well have come from this Abingdon newsagent.
The National Lottery have recruited the MG Car Club to drive a 1954 MG TF, 1959 MGA, 1965 MGB and 1972 MG Midget round to let people know of the unclaimed ticket. They will be going to the following places on Tuesday 15th February…
8.30am – Didcot Parkway
9.30am – Wantage
10.30am – Abingdon
11.15am – Finish at MG Car Club
I was wondering whether to set up a petition requesting the money go to local good causes if not claimed by June.
What are they doing to the River Stert at Withington Court?
I was sent the picture and the question by Tony. But don’t know the answer. Does anybody?
