December 2024

Ticket sales for the Waternish Hall Christmas Raffle are now closed, and the raffle team are frantically preparing for the draw at midday on Saturday. Final ticket sales are not yet available, but all all the signs are pointing to another record-breaking year for the raffle. Ticket sales look like they will surpass those of last year, and we already know that we have approximately 120 fantastic prizes to give away in the draw - you can see a list of these on the Raffle Page of the Hall website.

The only thing left for everyone to do is to head to the Raffle Page on Saturday at midday, and enjoy watching the raffle draw as it happens, live from Judi’s kitchen! If you can’t manage that, then a recorded video of the whole draw will be posted in the same location by the end of the weekend. A list of prize winning tickets will also be posted on the website as soon as possible after the event.

Thanks to everybody for your fantastic support, and good luck in the draw to all those who have bought tickets.

A huge thank you to everyone who visited the "Big Tablet Shed" at the house during November and December and to all who visited during our Waternish festive pop up weekends.

It was so lovely to see everyone, with lots of great chats.

As always we have donated a portion of all our Christmas sales to the charity Mary's Meals.  I can confirm that we have sent them £500 this year, which will be matched by government funding to make £1000.  This will feed 52 children at school for the next year.

Many thanks for all your purchases and helping to make this happen.

The tablet shed will be now closed until mid January when I will start making tablet again.

Merry Christmas
Donnie and Raymond
