There is less than a month to go before our Winter Raffle will be drawn, and the prizes have been coming in! Tickets are £5 each, and the draw will be on 15th December at the Library. Every penny from the tickets sales goes towards renovating GWL’s new premises, which – as you may know – will be a major undertaking and cost around £1.5 million, so please be generous!
The top prizes are a Home Cinema System worth £499, (kindly donated by Danwood), and a day trip on a Peccadillo Barge for you and 11 of your family or friends, up the Forth and Clyde Canal on a route of your choice!
There are also theatre tickets up for grabs, provided by The Tron, for Stellar Quines’ fantastic-sounding production Age of Arousal – ‘a lavish, sexy and powerful ensemble piece about the forbidden and gloriously liberated self’ set in one of the greatest periods of change for women in the history of the western world. I am already jealous of the winner of these and thinking I will have to get my own!
The CCA has very kindly donated tickets for 3 films by the Dutch film-maker Madelon Hooykas to accompany the exhibition Revealing the Invisible: The Art of Stansfield/Hooykaas from Different Perspectives – for more info on these see Jen’s blog post below.
The fabulous ReadingLasses bookshop in Wigtown is offering one lucky winner (and a friend) an overnight stay with the opportunity to browse to your heart’s content in peace and quiet! ReadingLasses is the only shop of its kind left in the UK and also located in Scotland’s National Book Town – so make sure you’re in with a chance of winning!
Also up for grabs are 3 signed Belle and Sebastien posters, and a variety of foodie and festive goodies including cases of Gavi di Gavi and Salice Salento wines, a hamper donated by Walkers Shortbread, and a selection of Lush smellies.
More prizes are coming in all the time so keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook pages!
