2009-11-21 – 5th Dartford Raffle Ticket Sales

raffleToday saw members from all sections participate in the sale of tickets for the 5th Dartford Scout Group Christmas Raffle. For most, the day started at 09:00 and ended at 17:00 with each section putting inhamper two hours to sell as many raffle tickets to shoppers at the Crayford branch of Sainsbury’s as possible.  As always however, Maggie and Jim were there earlier to set up and remained there right until the end to clear down too.

A big thanks to everyone who took time out of their day to raise funds for the group, which not only helps with the cost of gas, electricity and water, but also keeps the subs down too.  Total sales on the day were £576.33, with £195.63 spent on tickets and prizes leaving a £380.70 balance for the 5th’s coffers, which grew substantially, once the boy’s had sold tickets to friends, family and neighbours, to £568.14.  Well done to all.
