Waverley Autumn Draw Results
The Waverley Autumn Draw 2025 was organised by the London & home Counties Branch. The draw took place on 25 October at the Society’s National Annual General Meeting held in the Princess Royal Gallery at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. The winning tickets were drawn by our President, Douglas McGowan MBE. The winners have all been notified and were:
| Place | Prize | Ticket | Winner | Town |
| 1st | £1000 cash | 13050 | Sheena Kaighin | Woking |
| 2nd | 2026 Waverley British Sailing Pass for 2 | 03536 | Gary McNelis | Greenock |
| 3rd | 2026 Area British Sailing Pass for 2 | 12167 | Paul Wotton | Greater Manchester |
| 4th | Pair of Tickets for a Waverley Cruise in 2026 | 05851 | D Body | Gravesend |
| 5th | Family Ticket for a Waverley Cruise in 2026 | 06556 | Pauline Watt | Glasgow |
| 6th | £50 cash | 06340 | Andrew Brinicombe | Deal |
Altogether some £11,448 worth of tickets were sold and this money will go towards Waverley’s £1.3m winter work programme. The biggest element of this will be the replacement of her Fire Suppression System, as the present one is 25 years old. The new system will be more effective and the equipment will weigh less, allowing more passengers, fuel and/or stores to be carried in due course.
Please note that this Draw is separate from the Waverley Grand Draw organised by the Scottish Branch. The winning tickets for this are due to be drawn on 20 November 2025. Taking both draws together, some £31,400 has been raised for the Waverley.
