FUND

We started our weekly lucky number draw as a way of raising money for an Academy Sponsorship Fund.
Half the money raised each week goes to the Lucky Number Winner and the other half goes to the sponsorship fund.
This fund is to be used to help students with a variety of things such as travel to competitions (possible hire of mini bus), entry fees or anything which we deem appropriate.

The first 7 weeks of money was used to help those travelling to New Zealand for the ITF World Championships, but since then, the money has been building up.

AMOUNT RAISED (to October 2011) 
£629.00 + £36 + £10 = £675.00
LESS DONATION    £100.00    Mr Gordon Trinder    October 2011    Entry Fees for ITF European Championships

LUCKY SQUARES - £36
Our Sponsorship Fund also received a donation from Mr & Mrs Edwards (Bejamin Edwards parents) of a One Night Bed & Breakfast stay in their hotel - The Mariner Hotel.  The lucky winner was Mrs Dawn Burke.  This raised a total of £36 which will be added to our fund.  

SPREE BOOKS - £10
We sold spree books again this year but unfortunately only sold 2.  This made £10 for our sponsorship fund.
