After copious cups of coffees and teas and choices from a large selection of home made cakes and with the clock ticking it was time to make the draw, which included a host of major prizes all donated by villagers and friends.
Amongst the top prizes on offer were:
- £100 cash (donated by the Village Hall Committee) and won by Sarah Golding from Retford

These were a few of the 22 prizes won on the day and most prizes were collected after the draw, other winners will be notified in due course and a list of winners will be circulated in the village. The sum raised from the draw and various other functions taking place was around £640, which is destined for Village Hall funds.

QUIZ NIGHT: It was business as usual at the local hostelry on Sunday night, 7th December, as a fair size crowd gathered in readiness to take part in the local quiz. Proceedings commenced at approximately 8:00pm with regular question master John Jones in the chair. Ten teams were present to do battle on the night for the greatly sought after prize on offer. A mixed bag of questions were asked and a mixed bag of answers were given, unfortunately not all correct.
During the interval a small quiz was attempted with reasonable scores obtained by many. After a light finger buffet provided by the Gate Inn, contenders were ready to face the second half challenge. Again a mixed selection of questions amidst a lot of good humoured banter,soon it was face the music time, as the answer sheets were collected in. Another close finish, with only one point separating the top two teams at close of play. Question master John Jones declared the team known as Purple Shades as worthy winners, with congratulations offered by the other teams taking part. Another quiz night next Sunday at the usual starting time of 8:00pm.
