From the Club’s over 70 years membership database 50 members were drawn randomly and were delivered two meals each in late July.
The generous gesture by the staff was in appreciation of the Club’s support of staff throughout the Covid lockdown with all staff receiving 100% of their wages and none being made redundant. Previously staff had donated goods to the local Foodbank.
The Club received amazing feedback from the lucky members drawn:
“What a big surprise I got this morning when you lovely people called to give me two roast meals. Thank you, thank you so very much. It’s the first time I’ve won anything from the Cossie Club.” - Jeannette Duffield.
“Just a big thanks to the Staff at the Cossie club for the roast meals I received yesterday. The donation was most unexpected but delicious.” - Grant Sinclair.
The response on Facebook has also been overwhelming.
Pictured are some of the members who received the meals with the staff who delivered them.

Police say they received a report that the grounds had been damaged sometime between Friday night and Sunday morning.
Images of the park show wheel marks from a vehicle criss-crossing a significant portion of the new sand -based turf.
Mayor Wayne Guppy says the turf had only been in used for the last six weeks following an 18 month upgrade which was part of the first stage of the Maidstone Park Sports Hub project. Funding for the second stage of the development has been fast-tracked by a $12m injection from the central government's shovel ready funding which will allow for the building of new clubrooms and other infrastructure at the site.
"Someone knows what happened out there. People who do this sort of thing can't help but boast about it, so we are asking anyone who knows anything about it to come forward."
A police spokeswoman said the incident was awaiting to be signed to an investigating officer.
