Guys I am trying to help raise some funds for our club so I have bought two tickets for a Robbie Williams concert in July which I would like to raffle off. I am going to limit the tickets to 100 at a price of £10 per ticket so I think most of us could afford to purchase one and even if you don't like the artist you could onward sell the tickets. I am currently getting the tickets printed and be around on track over the next few weeks, concert is 2nd of July so will do the draw around the 22nd of June. Please dig deep into your pockets and canvas your friends to try and rally support, after all the proceeds will go towards our club. Many thanks for your anticipated support. Catherine
