Mike scoops up top raffle prize

 

‘Stop me and buy one’ has taken on a whole new meaning for ice cream retailer Mike Lightowlers who has scooped up a top raffle prize.

 

While supporting the recent Forties Weekend at Pembroke Dock’s Garrison Chapel Mike bought tickets in the raffle promoted by the Sunderland Trust.

 

And a week later his ticket was first out for the top prize - a fabulous weekend for four break in a Bluestone Ramsey Lodge, sponsored by Bluestone National Park Holiday Resort.

 

Bluestone Resort sponsored all three major prizes in the raffle, and the winning tickets were drawn by Bluestone Commercial Director Pamela Joseph.

 

Mike and his traditional ice-cream trike are becoming well known throughout the area since Morgan’s Ice Cream was set up two years ago - a business venture between Mike, who lives at Redberth, and Andy Knowles, who runs the Quayside Team Room at Lawrenny.

 

“I really enjoyed taking part in the Forties Weekend but never expected to win anything, let alone the top raffle prize,” said Mike. “It’s a terrific prize and I’m looking forward to my weekend break.”

 

The other raffle prize winners were:

Bluestone Liberty Membership for a year - won by Bob Western of Pembroke Dock, and Dinner for Two at Bluestone’s Carreg Las Restaurant - won by Richard Gibby of Pembroke.
