Keep meaning to mention this, but keep forgetting.
Any plans for a Eur0 2016 draw along the lines of the World Cup one that was done 2 years ago?

I believe so Edge. I'm sure that Guy and the Social & Fundraising Committee will advise.....

Yes Edge, the work on producing the tickets is underway - each ticket will have two of the teams taking part. With only 24 teams (rather than 32 for the WC) there are 276 combinations of two teams (rather than 496), so better odds of selecting the winning ticket. Also, I think it is a very open tournament and more teams have a chance of reaching the semis (and thus a higher proportion of tickets at the start have a realistic chance of winning a prize).
In order to generate a sufficient prize pot and profit for the Club, the price of tickets will be £3 rather than £2 this time, and tickets will go on sale in a few weeks time.
