Lottery
There was a family atmosphere at the draw of the 35th national lottery on October 31, 1986. The draw was made in front of staff and supporters by the reigning Miss Bournemouth, Celia Williams (pictured right), whose other claim to fame is that her father, Phil Williams (1), is the RNLI's administrative accountant. Making a welcome return to supervising the draw was Vice-Admiral Sir Peter Compston, KCB, who kindly deputised for Lord Stanley of Alderley. The lottery raised over £52,000 with the hard work of voluntary workers selling tickets at their various events contributing to the total. The prizewinners were: £2,000: A. M. Varley Esq, Reading, Berkshire.
£500: Mrs E. M. Rudd, London, SW4.
£250: Mrs M. Roy, Chard, Somerset.
£100: R. C. Gregory Esq, Hill Head, Hampshire; J. Wilson Esq, Carlisle, Cumbria; J. Winterton Esq, Emsworth, Hampshire; Mrs M. J.
