Following our recent survey of Members and Friends, the Management Committee have decided that your 200 Club will launch this month (October) with the 1st draw taking place hopefully in the club on Friday November 27th at 9pm. The vast majority of members and friends opted for a number cost of £5.00 each. The cost of membership will therefore be £60 per annum or £5 per month for one number. More than one number per person can be purchased. 200 Club numbers will be allocated and advised to members once payment has been received. Thank you once again to all the members and friends who responded to the survey and although we haven’t yet received enough response to sell 200 numbers, we hope this target will be achieved eventually. We are anticipating that we will have sold 80 numbers by November which will give us a prize fund for the 1st draw of £200 and income for the club of £200. The first prize would therefore be £100, 2nd prize £50 and five other prizes of £10 each. Obviously, this is subject to change either way depending on demand. If you would like to join your 200 Club, please reply to this email giving us your name, address and telephone number and advising how you would like to pay for your numbers and how many numbers you would like. We would prefer you to pay by standing order, cheque, bank transfer or cash as if you use the card machine at the club, the money would go to the wrong bank account which could lead to problems. As soon as a new bank account has been set up, we will be in touch again with the bank details and a standing order form if you need one. A copy of the 200 Club Rules is attached/below and will also be displayed on the Club notice boards Thank you for your continued support and good luck!
