2009 Benevolent Fund Raffle

04/11/2009

Gail Long, Vice President of BINDT, reports

The Benevolent Fund Raffle, held at NDT 2009 and Materials Testing 2009, which took place 15-17 September 2009 at the Norbreck Castle Hotel, Blackpool, raised the grand sum of £1514.00, with an impressive £1404 coming from ticket sales and £110 from personal donations. All the donations from the Associate Members were used to purchase the prizes, with Olympus donating a digital camera.

This level of raffle ticket sales would not have been possible without all the hard work of 'The Raffle Team' (pictured).

The prize winners are as follows:
  1. Acer Netbook: Marian Lennon
  2. £100 cash: Steve Meikle
  3. 320 GB Hard Drive: Steve Roe
  4. Olympus camera: Gail Long
  5. Tom Tom: Sue Spencer
  6. Computer backpack: Richard Freemantle
  7. MS Desktop Set: Tim Armitt
  8. Photo frame: Chris Howson
  9. Photo frame: John Pitcher
  10. Coffee maker: Keith McLaughlin
  11. Tool kit: Joan Paintin
  12. Weekend for two at the Norbreck Castle Hotel: Andy Anderson
The prizes were drawn as usual after the speeches at the Annual Conference Dinner on Wednesday 16 September, and many people commented on the high level and quality of all of the prizes.
Once again, may I thank each and everyone of 'The Team' for their sterling help.
