£1,000 of ‘cherries on top’ for retailers
Independent retailers who unpacked their deliveries of Down Memory Lane cards from Cherry Orchard Publishing between mid December and early January also will have found a ticket that will have gone into a Grand Prize Draw with £1,000 cash up for grabs!
As announced on PG Buzz in January all tickets were put into a ‘hat’ with four lucky winners’ names drawn from the hat on Cherry Orchard’s stand at Spring Fair (on the Cardgains Village). The lucky winners were: First Prize of £500 was won by Best Wishes in Maldon; Second Prize of £250 went to Newsmarket in Rainham; Third Prize of £150 was won by Gemini Greetings in East Sussex while Troika in Lincoln won the Fourth Prize of £100.
