Reef-Fest 2014 Raffle winners

First of all, I would like to thank Cockfields for hosting Reef-Fest 2014. It far exceeded my expectations how well turned out it was. I started Reef-Fest last year & plan on making it an annual event for all marine hobbyists across all forums and whoever hosts the event chooses which charity benefits any monies raised during Reef-Fest....

I am pleased to announce the total money raised in the raffle was £1339 and that was all down to raffle ticket sales.
So The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Oldham Hospital will be getting a nice cheque for £1339.

I asked Mark (Cockfields Manager) why he chose this as his charity and it is because a close friend of his had a baby girl premature and had to stay in Oldham hospital for 6 months and due to the dedication of staff & their facilities the little girl made it.
What Mark is going to do is get a photograph of him handing over the cheque to representatives from the The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Oldham Hospital along with his friends daughter.


Without further adue, onto the raffle winners:

The draw took place this afternoon in front of all Cockfields customers and young Hannah who works at Cockfields drew the tickets.

A huge thank you to all that bought raffle tickets. Just to note I never envisaged the fantastic response to the raffle tickets and had bought a 1000 book of tickets and when I had sold all of those tickets I bought another book, a white ticket book hence the draw showing Yellow & white tickets.

As I have said before, this Reef-Fest event was born last year so it is only the 2nd year for me organising it along with the shop and it was a big success last year but this year the numbers attending far exceeded last years and I am hoping next year will be even bigger.

I have been talking to the reps and members that attended the event and listening to them about improving for next year to make it even bigger and better so I will let you all know when & where for Reef-Fest 2015

I hope all that attended enjoyed themselves and got to meet fellow Sa;ty Box members aswell as other forum members and came away with some great buys.

Thanks again

Regards Dave Worship
