The Annual Christmas draw of the LtR 50/50 club took place in the pub session after a good practice night in Whitehaven. The lucky annual prize winner was Ann O’Hare who has been learning to ring at Ringwood, Hants.

The three other winners of £38.75 each were:

Stephen Hoar, a teacher at Thame St Marys;

Peter Hunt, a teacher at Thurcaston; and

Christine Day, a learner at Twickenham who joined this autumn and won in her first draw – as others have done in the past!
