The same shite vase has been spotted as a prize in several raffles over the last month in various Christmas fetes and fayres around the Merthyr Area.
The so called vase, which performs no function at all and looks shite, was first spotted as a raffle prize at the Aberfan & Merthyr Vale Christmas Fayre, and since then has been seen as a prize in four other raffles, including the Merthyr RFC Children’s Christmas Party. It appears that anyone who has won the vase as a prize has simply passed it on to another raffle almost immediately.
Merthyr RFC
John James from Merthyr RFC who also works for Merthyr Tydfil Council at the Civic Centre, brought this to our attention after seeing the vase won in the rugby club’s Christmas party and then receiving it as a gift in his office Secret Santa.
Furious
John told us, “I was furious, it’s a good job it’s called Secret Santa really, ‘cos if I find out who gave it to me they can look out. I spent £7.50 on a quite funny novelty mug and all I got in return was this crappy vase from some cheapskate.”
£1 Lucky Black Bag Deal
My Rhondda News has followed the raffle trail back to a charity shop in Ferndale, Rhondda where the vase was bought as part of a £1 Lucky Black Bag Deal, but before this the trail goes dead.
Do you know anything about the vase’s history? Please comment below if you know the origins of this vase that has brought misery to so many raffle winners.
