CHOCOLATE lovers have been asked to hold an Easter egg raffle to help raise money for a cancer charity.

Fund-raisers from Marie Curie Cancer Care want business people, schools, club members, shopkeepers, pub-goers, Scouts, Guides or Brownies to organise an Easter raffle for their friends and colleagues.

The charity will provide a luxurious, extra large Thornton's Easter egg and a fund-raising pack to anybody willing to hold one of the raffles.

Participants will then have to sell 100 tickets at a price of £1 each before pulling the name of the winner of the egg from a hat.

Anyone interested will need to sign up by Friday, March 2, by calling Amy Mckay on 0117 942 7132, or e-mailing amy.mckay @marie curie.org.uk
