Dear Lacrosse friends

 

I intend, together with my wife Chris, to promote a prize draw lottery on behalf of Tom Hayes and the development committee of the Federation of International Lacrosse.  This is intended to coincide with the World Championships in Manchester.  The object of the lottery is to raise money for the purchase of lacrosse equipment for new start-ups and to help pay for coaching and refereeing clinics.

The UK has benefitted from inputs from the former ILF now FIL and we would wish this to continue in the future.

 

The first prize will be two season tickets for the Championships, which will admit the bearers to every game including the final. Second prize is an Aboriginal print from the World Championships in Canada, 2006, and is a limited edition.  There will be many other lacrosse related prizes. Clearly we will need to draw winning tickets in good time so the winners will be able to use the tickets at the event.

 

The tickets will be serially numbered priced at a £1 each in books of 20.

Would all members of the ELA please consider supporting this worthwhile initiative and I would ask that anyone who can take 1 or more books to sell at their Club to please contact me by e-mail.  Please let me know how many books you require and the name and full postal address together with postcode.

 

In conclusion all the proceeds (there are no promoter’s costs other than printing and postage) will be devoted entirely to the development committee for the purpose intended.

I thank you in anticipation of any support you are able to provide.

Yours in lacrosse,

Gordon F Shumack Penarth Lacrosse Club & FIL Development Committee
