The Marketeers C.C. are pleased to announce that the club initiated a recent raffle and has raised £500 for charity.

The club decided to run the raffle in memory of former member Kevin Durant who unfortunately passed away during 2003.
The prize on offer was a place on the Marketeers float at Weston Carnival.

The raffle provided the chance for a punter to play the swinging drum kit on the front of the float. The M.C.C. entry Rock 2003 is winning many prizes this year, and the swinging drum kit is seen as the pinnacle position on the float.

Initially £426 was raised in a very short period of time. The club made the difference up to the fine figure of £500.
The Marketeers would like to thank all those people who bought raffle tickets.

At the request of Mrs Christine Durant the money will go to the Bridgwater Red Cross. Christine additional added her thanks to all who helped towards this cause.

The winner of the raffle was Kelly from Cavaliers c.c. who gratefully declined the prize. Therefore the position on the float will be taken by Neil Price of the Masqueraders c.c.
The 3rd place in the raffle was won by Paul Brazewell ex president of the Marketeers c.c.

See a video of the draw take place and a
short clip of Neil on the front of the cart on our media communications partners web site where your find lots of videos of us. www.Bridgwater-Broadband.co.uk

Below is a letter received by Marketeers CC

Dear Marketeers Carnival Club
Lisa, Craig and myself would like to thank you all most sincerely
for the kind gesture of collecting so much money as a tribute
to Kevin.
We cannot express our gratitude enough but to say a huge
Thank You' to all involved, the Marketeers and all other
carnival clubs who contributed to making over £800.00 " truly
unbelievable. Perhaps you could convey our gratitude to these
other carnivalites when attending a committee meeting.

This gesture is amazing and will go a long way to providing much
needed equipment for the British Red Cross - Bridgwater
Branch. I thought it only fitting that it should stay in
Bridgwater.
I was so touched by the kindness of you all. It will never be
forgotten.
Yours sincerely

Chris Durant
Lisa & Craig
