Prize draw<br />
approaches<br />
The Grand Summer Raffle prize draw<br />
is being held on 26 September at<br />
Central Office, so you still have time<br />
to return your ticket stubs. We have<br />
some brilliant prizes to be won and<br />
you may even win the break to Irton<br />
House Farm, which was won by<br />
member Helen Cole last year, who<br />
had an absolutely wonderful time.<br />
Helen writes:<br />
My holiday to Irton House Farm was<br />
everything it claimed to be in the<br />
brochure … and more !! The accommodation<br />
was disabled-friendly without being obtrusive<br />
and very clean and comfortable. The selfcatering<br />
kitchen facilities were excellent. Irton<br />
House is a working farm consisting of mostly<br />
sheep and there was full access to sheep<br />
and lambs in adjacent meadows. The view<br />
of the countryside is unobstructed, the farm<br />
being on high ground, with a distant view of<br />
Bassenthwaite Lake. The Lake District is nearby,<br />
but, for a respite holiday, there is no need to<br />
leave the farm.<br />
Member Heather Jones draws last year’s lucky winners.<br />
The farm owners, Joan and Reg Almond, were<br />
very friendly, kind, helpful and understanding<br />
people and my husband and I very much<br />
appreciated their hospitality. We will certainly be<br />
returning again next year as paying guests …<br />
God willing!!<br />
Many thanks to Irton House Farm for donating<br />
a prize again this year and, indeed, to everyone<br />
else who have so generously donated prizes<br />
towards our Grand Summer Raffle.<br />
Good luck everyone, but remember .. … you<br />
have to be in it to win it !!<br />
Thank you<br />
