We have so much to do in 2025. But we can't do it without you.
In 2024, our centenary year, we achieved a great deal thanks to our loyal supporters and users. Ensuring the Hall's facilities are as up-to-date as possible while keeping hiring costs competitive is key to our long-term survival. Last year we changed the kitchen equipment to all-electric. This cost over £4,000 but it is now much easier and safer to use. We also redecorated the Hall and the kitchen. In 2025 we need to upgrade the Hall's audiovisual equipment. (Completed this week! Ed). We have grants from the Bucks Building Society, the Parish Council and the Bucks Community Board, but we will need to dip into our reserves to complete this project. Another major task is to replace the wooden sleepers that keep the earth bank from slipping onto the path at the back of the Hall.
And, of course, we have to find £10K+ for the year's energy bills and general maintenance. As always, we will do our best but, of course, we can't do it without you.
At least two prizes of £50 guaranteed in our first draw on March 26th 2025
The monthly lottery costs £12 for the year. That works out at a mere 3.2p a day, with the chance of winning a cash prize every month. Once again we'll be giving away around 20% of the pot. Last year we sold 356 tickets and awarded 60 prizes totalling £1119. In any case, we guarantee two prizes of £50 in our first draw on March 26th 2025. We'd like to give away even more. And we can if more people play. We appreciate times are hard, but please could you buy an extra ticket this year?
It's so easy to join... Your name is already on the form. Pay by cheque or bank transfer.
Decide how many tickets you want and return the form to us. Please make cheques payable to: Chalfont St Giles Memorial Hall. To pay by bank transfer, please see below. If you have any queries, call Tony Hoare on 01494 872883. We will send your tickets as soon as possible. As long as we receive your application by March 26th 2025, you will be in the March draw. Don’t worry if your lottery number arrives after that date.
