Good evening. It was a different style of Coffee Morning today. We started at 11am instead of 10, and it finished at 1pm. So I suppose it was a Coffee Lunch. This is a once a year treat where they dip into the kitty and spend some of the surplus cash. A scoff all you can eat finger buffet.
There was a good turnout, more people than usual came. They laid out a good spread. Plenty for all.
There was also a bumper raffle with lots of nice prizes. Tickets are £1 for a strip of five. I don't know why they don't sell them singly at £1 each. The folded stubs are pulled out of the bucket in strips. So you only get one chance per strip. That's a waste of four tickets. I had ten strips and won two prizes.
They finished off the session with a game of Bingo. At that point I left. It's not my thing.
I bought two plants when I was at Doddington Hall. One for me and one for Janet. I bought a new pot to put mine in. It's looking very healthy. Janet sent me a photo of hers. It has little blue flowers on it. She is chuffed. 
The weather is still changeable. Never know whether to go out or not. Threatens rain then the black clouds move away and the sun comes out.
Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona
When we are offered raffle tickets and someone says £1 a strip, it's expected that they tear them into individual ones. That's how it used to be. Sometimes people would ask for just 2 actual tickets. It's years since I bought any but I used to sell them for animal charities and I always separated the individual tickets. Many people think they are getting 5 chances to win when they buy a strip. It's wrong to mislead people like this, and yes, it is a waste of the other four tickets.
ReplyDeleteI think it's because the ticket sellers can't be bothered to separate them into single tickets, then fold the stubs.

ReplyDeleteI like to make an effort with lots of variety, as in changing the header and the content.
