The person whose ticket is drawn out will be a passenger in a microlight aircraft piloted by local fundraiser Claire Lomas.

Claire qualified as a pilot in January and she wants to share her thrill of being able to fly with all proceeds going to support Great Dalby Primary School.

“The flight will be filmed and, if possible, we will fly over their house.”
