Grand Draw

The Restore the Montgomery Canal! Appeal group has launched a Grand Draw with prizes as follows:

  • First Prize – £250
  • Second Prize – £100
  • Third prize – £50.

All of the prize fund and raffle expenses have been covered by a generous donor. So every ticket sold is £1 for the restoration fund!

The net proceeds will be added to the current appeal for £250,000 towards the Society’s work on restoring the dry section of canal between Crickheath and Llanymynech, The Shropshire Gap. For more information on this, please see shropshireunion.org.uk/the-shropshire-gap.

Tickets are available online, please see themontgomerycanal.org.uk/donate/raffle-2024. Members buying their tickets in this way will save themselves the cost of postage and save us bank charges. Counterfoil numbers are allocated to online purchasers.

If you would prefer to buy printed tickets, please write to the Appeal at 26 Bentley Drive, Oswestry, SY11 1QT or email appeal@themontgomerycanal.org.uk.

The Grand Draw will take place on Friday, 1st November 2024 at the Society’s work party site at Crickheath. It is rumoured the counterfoils might be jumbled up in a concrete mixer before the draw!

Please note that it is illegal to sell tickets to anyone under 16.

The Restore the Montgomery Canal! Appeal group is promoted by the Montgomery Waterways Restoration Trust (and its membership arm The Friends of the Montgomery Canal), supported by the Shropshire Union Canal Society and The Inland Waterways Association’s Shrewsbury District & North Wales Branch. MWRT is the receiving entity and all profits will be committed to restoring the Montgomery Canal. All these groups are circulating Grand Draw tickets to their members, thus widening the range of purchasers and avoiding each having its own Draw.
