Summer Bike Giveaway winner
Local businessman, Paul Storan won a special prize in the September Epping Forest Community Lottery.
Summer Bike Giveaway
He scooped an Apollo Interzone Junior Mountain Bike donated by social enterprise company Bikeworks. Paul who runs Common Good Transport, a community-based transport service in Loughton, was delighted with his prize.
His wife Crystal bought the lucky ticket which automatically entered them into the Summer Bike Giveaway. They had only been playing the lottery a month, with one ticket, but have vowed to up their stakes for a chance of winning the top prize.
Crystal and Paul, who are supporting the young carers charity ‘Action for Family Carers’ said:
It was a lovely, happy surprise to win a fabulous teen mountain bike on the Epping Forest Community Lottery.
We’ll definitely be keeping up our subscription in the hope of the big win.
The couple have 2 children who are looking forward to sharing the new bike.
