The prize draw...
Last year, West Didsbury was required to contribute to the funding of the two lit Christmas trees (at the junction of Palatine Rd & Lapwing Lane and Burton Rd) and festive street lighting. Although to some it might seem frivolous thinking about twinkling lights in quite austere times, such things can have a bit of a positive effect. So, with the West Didsbury Residents Association, we've decided to go for it again.
Rather than approaching local shops, restaurants and bars for money we thought it would be more effective to organise a Prize Draw based around donated prizes from local businesses instead.
The Prize Draw will be launched in conjunction with WestFest to maximise publicity for all, and drawn as close as possible to the switchon event in December.
Tickets will be £2 each, selling from the WDRA stall over WestFest weekend outside the Co-op on Burton Road and at various venues afterwards. We hope to raise at least £1000 for the lights and tree.
