Tombola and Raffles
Every year we invite local Chippenham crafters to come and display and sell their wares. Later in the year we will list some of the delights we have to offer.
Our Chairman, Dorryta Hayward prepares wonderful festive fayres for us all to enjoy. She caters for all tastes, including dairy free and gluten free. Her festive fayre is a feast for the eyes as we all fill up on her sweet and savory foods.
Our Tombola is always a delight, where participants can win useful presents. We have our usual 50/50 Raffle, which last year the prize winner received over £50 for a £1.00 ticket! We must not forget our standard raffle. Here for just a £1.00 for a strip of tickets you could win one of the amazing displays - well worth the wager.
