CONGRESS 2012
The first draw for half a sheep every month to raise funds for Congress 2012 was made on Saturday 16 July at St Andrew’s Scottish Society Christmas in July and the winner was none other than our very own Beth Cameron. Congratulations!
Our next ½ sheep draw will be at Easterns Chief’s Night on 27th August. Tickets can be bought on the night, at R100.00 for 10 draws. If there are still tickets available these can be purchased at R10 per ticket for the 27th night’s draw only. Please support this fundraising drive to have the funds available to book Congress well in advance.
