December brings the annual Co-Op Trolley Dash which is famed for its fun and seasonal good will. Members and volunteers sell raffle tickets during December and then draw a winner and three runners up.
The lucky winner can then dash round the Burnham Co-Op to fill a trolley with their personal preferences – within a 90 second time limit – hence the ‘dash’. The trolley contents are paid for by the Club which also adds two meat cuts and some alcohol. The value of the basket of foodstuffs and drink usually amounts to around £300 – £400 for the winner.
Second, third and fourth prizes are given in Co-Op vouchers worth £100 down to £25.
The excess of ticket sales over these costs provides us with healthy funds for good causes.

The Rotary Club of Burnham on Crouch & Dengie Hundred President Barry Davis congratulates Richard Foulk, the lucky winner of this years annual Xmas Raffle on winning the first prize, a short ‘Trolley Dash’ around our local Co-Op supermarket. Richard managed to scoop up £220 worth of supplies during his ‘Dash’, paid for by the Rotary Club.
Four other lucky prize winners won Coop vouchers ranging from £100 to £20. Our thanks go to the Co-Op for their support in hosting this event which raises funds for charities and good causes within the Dengie Hundred and further afield.
