LOCAL MAN HITS THE ROAD
AFTER BIG LOTTERY WIN

CLOGAU ANNOUNCE NEW STORE
AT ASHFORD DESIGNER OUTLET

A life on the open road beckons for a retired Maidstone postie who scooped
£25,000 on a charity lottery draw.
David had to take early retirement from his job as a postman in Maidstone
after being seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in Grove Green, in
November 2010, which left him with a shortened arm and leg. Although he
can still drive a car, he had to give up his love of motorcycles.
He spent several weeks in hospital and signed up to the Demelza Lotto at
the charity’s regular stand in Maidstone Hospital while waiting for a postop appointment.
He said: “I have always felt passionately about the work Demelza does with
children and decided my monthly contributions would go some way to help.
I never really expected to win anything – I’ve never won anything before in
my life!”
The Superdraw win means David is now able to indulge his new big love
for travel. He has spent his winnings on a shiny new four-berth camper van
so he and his partner Maria can tour around Britain and Europe.

Following the success of their Outlet stores in Cheshire Oaks, Bridgend and
Resorts World Birmingham, Clogau are proud to announce the launch of
a fourth Outlet in Ashford, Kent.
