Coachmaker Banquet 2023 Prize Draw

Here you can buy your tickets to our Coachmaker Banquet Prize Draw just as you might buy your tickets to any other Coachmaker event.

All proceeds from the Draw will be used by the Coachmakers’ Charitable Trust to provide scholarships, bursaries, apprenticeship training and financial support to some of Britain’s next generation of engineers and designers.

For every entry you purchase in this way, the Assistant Clerk will write your name and telephone number on a Prize Draw envelope which will be placed in the box on the night with all the other envelopes submitted by Banquet attendees as they arrive. Buy 10 entries, have 10 envelopes in the box with your name on them.

Envelopes submitted in this way will be indistinguishable from every other envelope in the box; and to ensure no favouritism either way, every envelope representing an entry purchased online will contain a £20 note sized piece of paper so that the Lord Mayor Locum Tenens (who will be invited to make the Draw) will not be aware that some envelopes will contain money and some will not.

With only 1,000 Prize Draw entries available, the more entries that you purchase in this way, the more chance you have of winning.

So what are the prizes?
