Six Happy Winners Help Support Conservation

Near midnight on the 31^st of December at the gorgeous Grim’s Dyke Hotel, the winning tickets were drawn for Froglife’s New Year Raffle. Andrew Whittaker of the Grim’s Dyke Opera Company and the Gilbert and Society drew the winning tickets for 6 fantastic prizes.

The prizes donated generously by the Grim’s Dyke Hotel, London Duck Tours, Hampton Court Palace, London Zoo, Kew Gardens and The Harrow Arts Centre and your generous uptake of tickets allowed us to raise  over £700 through raffle ticket sales.  In this tough fundraising climate, this was a great boost for to help Froglife’s work conserving reptiles and amphibians in 2012.
