The Christmas Raffle

Its that time of year again for the FCUM bumper Christmas Raffle with, once again, a cornucopia of wonderful prizes all donated, free gratis, by our brilliant supporters and co owners. So, but for the cost of printing the tickets, every ticket sold will be clear profit for our football club. Last year we sold 2800 tickets and, who knows, with just that little bit more effort from us all we can burst the 3000. Here is a list of the bountiful gifts, which are on offer as prizes: -

A week in Spain on the Costa Brava in Platja D’Aro in a 3 double bedroom villa
2 tickets at the Cardiff Arena for a gig of your choice (including overnight hotel accommodation in the city centre)
An Eric Cantona canvas
A professional drill and sander from Pamties
2 tickets for Russell Brand’s sold out gig at the Apollo, Manchester, in February
A day pass and spa treatment at the Y Club in Castlefield
A family portrait session by John O’Connor
A top of the range leather handbag from Lichfield Leather
One year’s entry for 4 to Funkademia
A large L’Oreal cosmetics gift bag
A meal for 2 at the Rose N Bowl restaurant in Rossendale
A meal for 2 at the Swan and Cemetery, Bury
A voucher for a celebration cake for that special occasion from Newman’s Bakery
A Christmas hamper

And this is how we will distribute the tickets: -

Vinny Thompson and Mike Platt will have books of tickets available for co owners to sell to friends and family. So, catch them at any match (unless they trap you first) home or away and they will sort you out with tickets.

If you can’t get to any games, then contact Mike here and he will post them out to you.

If you live in foreign climes then we can allocate you some numbers to sell and we will then put the tickets in the draw. Again email Mike Platt here

Alternatively, visit the membership stall at any home match to either buy tickets or to get some books of tickets to sell for our club.

The draw will be held on Saturday 21st December at the Barwell home match (weather permitting!)
