Yesterday I visited the club, which was the third get-together I have organised to eat here over the past 12??"14 months. Until now, I have been very happy with both the food and the general service that my family and I have received.
Unfortunately, yesterday I left with a sour taste in my mouth. We were given tickets for the meat raffle, and for some reason ??" don't ask me why, perhaps being happily drunk ??" I only wrote my first name on each ticket. From my understanding, after speaking with someone at the club, my name was drawn but deemed invalid because it only included my first name and not my last name.
I do understand that it could be difficult to be certain if there are multiple people with the same first name. However, I had written my phone number on the ticket, so there could have been no misunderstanding as to who the ticket belonged to if it had been drawn. My feeling is that my ticket may have been drawn more than once, although I can never be 100% certain.
As I mentioned, I was told by a person at the club that my name had been drawn, which is why this situation has left me disappointed. It is a pity, but because of this experience, I will not be organising any further get-togethers at the club.
