In this audio clip, Brian Mince recalls the occasion on which David Tucker won the big prize in the Christmas Party Organising Committee‘s “200 Club” Fundraiser.
The picture shows David, who at the time was an apprentice fitter, receiving a cheque for £800 from the Miss Gloucester 1973 Laura Lawrence during a ceremony in the canteen. As Brian explains, David decided to accept the cash prize rather than a mini from a local garage.

Laura Lawrence is my mum. Sadly she died of cancer in 2019. She was as lovely inside as she was on the outside. Thanks for the memory.
Ed: Thanks for your comment and tribute, Steph. It’s amazing to think the photo was taken 50 years ago. How time flies! John B
That explains why Dave went for the cash then !!!
I seem to remember it was a Hillman Imp rather than a Mini.
