Peter Turns 60

PARTY TIME

When family and a few friends gathered for Peter's 60th birthday, Maxine organised the show at The Corner Shack (near our store in Hillvue Road).

What a turn they put on for us. Everyone had a great time and the food they provided was outstanding. We couldn't recommend the place more highly.

If you are searching for catering that your guests will rave about, ask about the food we had for Peter's party. Every dish was a new surprise for the guests - they did an fantastic job!

Store Winner

Valentine Winner

The winner of our big beautiful bear was Lisa Smith. She had a free entry when she purchased a Valentine card from us. Everyone who bought their card from our store had the opportunity to enter our competition free.

We have many exclusive competitions for our customers. Now we have an Easter colouring competition for infants and primary children. We have been running this Easter competiton for many years now. When we hang the entries in the shop for you to view, it makes an impressive display of the kids' ability. The prize for these is a giant purple rabbit. Entry forms will be available soon. If the kids don't do one at school, you are welcome to collect an entry from our store.

Who Won the Money?

Lottery 3rd Prize

We sold another winner in the lottery! On Friday 8th February the Lotteries Office phoned to tell us that we had sold another major winner.

The winning ticket was in $2 Lottery # 8963 and 3rd prize was sold to an unregistered player.

We can't wait for someone to bring their ticket in and get a wonderful surprise.

Being unregistered, there will be some paperwork to do because the Lotteries Office does not know who the winner is and will have to wait for the money to be claimed.

Bring in your tickets to have them checked and see if you were the lucky winner who joined our growing winners' list.

Another $19 million

Saturday Lotto $19 Million

There is another big draw on Saturday February 16th. We have set up a couple of different in-store syndicates that you can join at either store. As they are fully subscribed, we will open new ones. We must sell all the shares we make in each syndicate, so near the date we stop making any more.

Lotteries make larger value shares for anyone to buy if you wish to purchase a more expensive share.

As usual the rules are that each syndicate is sold on a first come, first served basis. To be fair to everyone, we do not reserve any shares at any time.

If you wish to enter your own syndicate with friends or co-workers, we suggest that you start organising early. If you need any assistance, just ask our friendly staff. We would be happy to help.

You can purchase entries early if you will be away in the week of the big draw.

Lost Opportunity?

Country Music Visitors Showcase

During the festival, I feel that it was a great pity that tours of the new equestrian complex were not arranged. Small buses could have been used to keep the visitors out of the way of the construction activities. This could have helped to sell the potential of this impressive structure to our largest annual group of visitors.

For this enormous complex to be successful at all levels, it must have high useage from the start. If we had showed off the complex we may have encouraged more visitors to use it in the future. Even locals have not fully understood how this imposing complex will be so important to our city in the future.

I understand the problems that could be faced on an active construction site may have been difficult, but these could be resolved. I hope that soon locals will be able to get a decent look at this magnificent asset. The site is so large that it is difficult to find a spot to have a decent look.
