	100 Club The August Old Wymondhamian 100 Club draw was carried out at The Mulberry Tree in Attleborough and this month’s winners were:- Chris Parnham - resident of Santon Downham near Brandon & Carolyn Heald [Ore] - resident of Bretton, Peterborough Chris has been a member since March 2004 and this is his first win!! Hopefully that will give some encouragement to others who have yet to win after subscribing for a similar amount of time!! Cheques, in the sum of £55.00 each, have been dispatched. Steve and I were not quite “Billy No Mates” and were joined by Sandra Howard. The Mulberry Tree was reasonably busy early on and we managed to sit outside all evening. The beers on offer were a new beer from Adnams - Mosaic Pale Ale and Sharp’s Doom Bar. A very pleasant establishment and a score of 8.5 is apt. The September OW 100 Club draw will be held at The Catfield Crown [just off the A149 between Stalham & Potter Heigham] on Wednesday 27th September at 8.00pm Hope to see some of you there. Best Regards, Phil Robinson OW 100 Club administrator - Philrobinson55@btinternet.com
