TICKETS are now on sale for a grand draw in aid of Earls Croome Church Tower.

The first prize is a holiday voucher worth £250.

Other prizes include garden furniture and a cricket bat signed by members of Gloucestershire County Cricket Club.

Anyone who would like to buy a ticket can call 01684 592490/593780. The draw will be made on December 12.

Work on repairing the church tower is due to begin this month. The church needed to raise £55,000 to cover the costs and it is hoped the draw will bring in some of the £5,700 still needed to reach the total.

Other events in the pipeline will include quiz nights, a bonfire night party and a mulled wine evening.
