Open Day 2022 E-Bikes Grand Draw

After fundraising for Pett Level Independent Rescue Boat was closed down for so long through the pandemic, we had a wonderful Open Day fundraiser in 2021, with a Grand Draw featuring the fabulous hot tub donated by Homewood Leisure..

And for 2022’s Open Day Grand Draw, we’re hoping to go even bigger and better because this year Rye Bay E-Bikes have made the marvellous donation of not just one but two compact e-bikes as star prizes..

RYE BAY E-BIKES

Rye Bay E-Bikes is a local company specialising in the sale and hire of e-bikes. Based at Rye Harbour, they are at the far end of the Rye Bay area that our rescue boat charity protects. Rye Bay E-Bikes have long been keen supporters of ours and were involved as sponsors when Sean O’Sullivan of SOS Entertainment got on his bike on his marathon 54-mile bike ride fundraiser for us!

The prize bikes donated for the Grand Draw are known as Compacts. These are the fabulous ‘nippy’ ones that have relatively small wheels. This makes them great for use about town and easy to store or transport on trips. In all, they’re perfect for a pedal along Pett Level!

*GREAT PRIZES, GRAND DRAW *

Other prizes are also being donated by local businesses, so there will be several prizes in the draw on the day. We’ll add updates to this page and on our social media as these prizes are confirmed.

Our 2022 Open Day is firmly in the diary for Sunday now being proposed for Sunday 28th August 2022 and this Grand Raffle draw will take place at 3pm.*

And as they say, you've got to be in it to win it ...
