The February (quarterly) draw was made at the Northern District meeting at Holy Trinity Clapham this evening and the prize of £86.24 was won by Paul Flavell of Kingston with No 18. Many congratulations to Paul, who was heard to say recently that he couldn't afford to retire yet - how quickly things can change, thanks to a canny investment!

Talking of retired people, you may have noticed looking around that there are many more of these in the Northern District than there are in the Southern District. The reason for this is simple. It is because, out of the total numbers so far sold in the Numbers Club, 84 have been bought by Northern District members, 25 by Southern District members, and 12 by others. So let's be hearing from the Southern District please so that you also can be sitting back and enjoying the sunshine!

Best wishes to all our sagacious investors and may your retirement be long and happy!
