St Mary's 100 Club - January 2014 Draw

St Mary's has stood in the village for almost 800 years and, throughout its history, it has not been equipped with that most basic of facilities, a toilet.

This has meant that some elderly folk have been unable to risk coming to church, visitors for funerals and weddings have been uncomfortable throughout services and, rather unsatisfactorily, children have been instructed to 'go behind a gravestone'. 2014 should see that situation remedied with the construction of an extension to house a new toilet.

To help fund the toilet we have started a 100 Club, featuring monthly draws of 50% of the received income. For just £2 per number per month you could help St Mary's get this much needed facility and put yourself in with a chance of winning a first prize each month of over £50.

The first draw was made by Claire Lawrence, conductor of the Aylesbury Concert Band, at the wonderful New Year's Concert on 11 January. At the time of the draw the 100 Club had 117 members so the three winners shared prize money of £117.

Congratulations to the winners of our first draw:

Winner of £58.50 – #65, Patricia Costin, Eaton Bray

Winner of £35.10 – #62, John Palmer, Edlesborough

Winner of £23.40 – #38, Susan Walker, Eaton Bray

If you would like to help us by joining the 100 Club please collect a form from St Mary's Church, Eaton Bray, or from www.StMarysEatonBray.org.uk/Groups/100-Club
