Big Winter Raffle Prize Winners

Saturday night (2nd March 2013) saw not only the end of FebruaryFest, with the usual good craic to close the festival, but also the prize draw for the Big Winter Raffle. There were prizes galore handed out to our lucky prize winners, including our top prize of a Mammut Pulse Barryvox Avalanche Transceiver.  Some big smiley faces were noted at the handing out of the prizes, presumably attributable to the opportunity of a big kiss from keeper-of-the-prizes Stu.

First prize. A Pulse Barryvox Avalanche Transceiver.
Thanks to Mammut.

The Big Winter Raffle has been running throughout FebruaryFest, with all monies raised being handed over to Glencoe Mountain Rescue.

The Winter Mountain Safety Lectures are a key part of the winter programme here at Clachaig, and this year we were delighted to work with outdoor gear and clothing company Mammut as sponsors of the series. Close to 400 people attended the 4 lectures, which provide information, advice and guidance on preparing to venture into the Scottish winter hills.

As part of the sponsorship, Mammut provided a number of prizes which enabled us to run the Big Winter Raffle and raise funds for the voluntary rescue service. 

In addition, a number of our local partners were also quick to come forward with yet more attractive prizes. A huge thank you is due to everyone who embraced this fundraising effort.

And the total raised? A whopping £1821

 

 2nd Prize. A 3 night break at Quarry Cottages.
