Ruyton XI Towns Village Hall 100 Club

Dear Blogger

Message from Nigel, Ruyton XI Towns Village Hall

Thank you for subscribing to our 100 Club lottery during 2025.  

Over the year we have given away £1,540 in prizes, and raised a similar sum to help fund the Village Hall.  So a HUGE THANK YOU!!

The year's top scorer won a total of £197.50 in prize money.  Second highest prizewinner received £135.00 and third highest pocketed £122.50

If you have won something during the year, CONGRATULATIONS!! ??   If you haven't won anything (like me!), commiserations ??…but…better luck next year!!

And that is why I am writing as I hope that next year you will subscribe again, and that we can encourage even more people to sign up, which will make the prizes even bigger…..of course, you can help with this by encouraging others to subscribe!

In the new year I shall email you again with information on how to sign up for 2026 - I am trying to make it a little easier for you by doing all the finances through Stripe card payments….no more messing about with BACS transfers and Standing Orders.  

This will mean that we will make a little less income as we shall absorb the costs, but the prize monies will not be affected, and making payments will be easier for you.

Once again, thank you for your support, and I wish you a happy Christmas and a lottery-winning New Year

Regards,
Nigel Leadbeater

ILLUMINATED TRACTORS - Join us on the Brownhill wall

Dear Blogger

If you live on the south (Cliffe) side of the Brownhill please bring a hot drink and a seat and park yourself on the

Tonight`s ILLUMINATED TRACTOR PROCESSION

Raising funds for Shropshire`s own Cancer Support Charity

LINGEN DAVIES was originally launched in 1979 by then Mayor of Shrewsbury Bernard Lingen and local accountant Frank Davies, to build and equip a new radiotherapy department at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital. Since this establishment, the charity has grown to deliver services, equipment, technology, staff, and cancer support to the wider community.

Over the years an entire new Cancer Centre has been created on the site, including state of the art facilities and treatment to benefit cancer patients throughout the community.

The charity exists to enhance and improve the situation for local cancer patients. We cannot eradicate cancer, but we can make life easier for those who are going through it, or watching loved ones go through it.

It is kind of a Robin Hood story style.
