The competition to guess the number of pencils in the box has closed and the winner has been announced. Congratulations to Christine Conley whose entry was the closest to the actual number of 1828 pencils. Christine has won a $150 voucher to ShadowFax Winery.
Second closest was Rahul McPherson who works for Tino Ballan. He wins a ticket for two people to the Werribee Cinemas. Special thanks to Roly Wade for donating both prizes. And thanks to everyone who had a go at the guessing game. For the statistically minded, the lowest entry was 345 and the highest entry was 7582. The average was about 3000 which just goes to show that it was deceptively challenging or that some people just had no idea.
We were successful in raising $190. The funds will be deposited into our club account.
The pencils will now be donated to Donations in Kind to be distributed to school children in Pacific-rim countries.
