First Windfall Draw Prize Awarded

The winner of the first Tenbury Windfall Draw, local resident Victor Woodford, is presented with his cheque and iPod touch in Tenbury Library by the Town Mayor Liz Weston.

Tenbury's Grand Windfall runs until the end of June, so there are still five more chances to win £1000, or an iPod touch - or both if your card is the first out and has at least five green apple stickers!

Completed Loyalty Cards for future draws can be handed in at Tenbury Library or the Pump Rooms. Entries for the next draw close on February 29th.

Almost every business in Tenbury Wells is taking part in the "Grand Windfall" Loyalty Scheme, which makes it easy for shoppers to collect the 15 stickers they need to complete a Loyalty Card and enter the draw. A red apple sticker is awarded with any purchase and if over £5 is spent, the shopper also receives a green apple, filling their loyalty card faster and helping them towards the five (or more) green apple stickers they need to win the iPod touch. Loyalty cards are available from participating shops and at the Library.

First Windfall Draw Completed

The first TWO4B Windfall draw attracted 3,300 enteries (only 15 of which had been entered with no name).

The winning entry was drawn today by Tenbury Mayor Liz Weston and Chairman of the Tenbury Chamber of Trade, Sarah Thompson.

The lucky winner is Victor Woodford from Tenbury Wells, who will be presented with his cheque and iPod Touch this Saturday.

Tenbury Bridge Work 3 Down, 7 to Go

It seems that the contractors are making steady progress.

The upstream pavement bed has been set with concrete and part of the road bed has been dug up.

Scaffolding has appeared, although at this stage, to my untrained eye, I have not idea what it's for.

The car parking situation seems to have been mostly resolved, and there seems to be less problems with cars arriving to find no space available.  Some shops have publicly complained about a steep downturn in trade, whilst other have reported (much less publicly) that their figures are holding up and they are doing better than expected.  Interestingly where they are able to compare their figures with other branches in other towns, then the are pleasantly surprised.

The number of completed windfall cards is rapidly increasing, with the collecting boxes becoming very heavy.  Only time will tell where the shoppers have come from, but stickers are being collected by the thousands.

The date of the first draw has been scheduled for 6th February, with the Tenbury Mayor due to draw the winning ticket.
