Therefore, if you attend 2 different clubs per week, you will receive 2 raffle tickets for that week – the more the merrier and the more tickets you have, the better chance you have of winning!
These tickets will be entered into a prize draw, to be drawn at the end of every term, with the winners winning great prizes and privileges from the PE Department such as skiing lessons, paint balling etc. (Prizes TBC at a later date).
There will be one prize draw per year group (7-10) making your chances of winning even higher!
