Last Years Winners
One of the SGSA members won the aggregate prize of £200 from a winning ticket
sent back from the Black Forest. Our final event in 2002
The charity group has been set up to
distribute funds to deserving causes. Money will come from excess funds, members
donations and from events such as the our balloon races. The funds will be
distributed amongst local causes, supporting members when in need or
hardship and Casa Alianza. In addition we will be supporting the Sports Centre
Project in Swanage. The group behind these events is pictured below.
The winner from the RNLI events came from Salisbury,
the winning ticket being returned from BFPO30 in Germany.
Yes, we do believe these are genuine returns!
