==SVRA raffles==
The SVRA organised regular raffles to raise funds for projects on the railway. The proceeds from the first two raffles in 1972 were used to buy shares in the newly-launched [[SVR(H)]], in order to ensure SVRA members had adequate representation in the new organisation.<ref>SVR News 23, 26</ref> Thereafter normal practice was to hold two raffles per year, one organised by the Association's Committee and the other by one of its Branches (see below).<ref>SVA reports in SVR News 70 (1983), SVR News 137 (2001) etc.</ref>
An incomplete list of raffles organised by the SVRA is shown on the [[:Category:SVR fundraising lotteries | SVR fundraising lotteries page]].
