NBCC LUCKY ENVELOPE DRAW
We will run a “Lucky Envelope” draw which will begin around the time everyone is seated. Every table has an envelope with their table number on it. To take part the envelope must contain $200 cash (i.e. whole table puts in $20 a head or 4 put in $50 etc etc). If members on your table wish to contribute to more than one envelope, please speak to Jemma Binney. Envelopes will be collected at 8.30pm. Throughout the night we will draw 4 table numbers at a time and announce them - if your table number is drawn you are out of the draw. Last three remaining tables get 30%, 15% and 10% of the prize pool with the balance to NBCC. There are 21 tables at the event - if all tables participate the pool will be $4,200 (i.e 1st prize $1260, 2nd Prize $630, 3rd Prize $420).
