200 Club Launched!
What is a 200 Club?
For those of you who have not come across a 200 club before, here is a
description of the scheme –
The Plan
Up to 200 people buy one or more ‘shares’ per year. Half the
total sum raised goes to the Club and the other half is distributed on a
monthly basis to winning ‘shareholders’ whose share numbers have been
drawn.
Membership
The cost of each yearly share is £60 – £5 for each month.
Shareholders may hold more than one share. The first draw will
take place at the Black Tie Evening in April 2011.

Shares
Each share is numbered and that number belongs to the member
to whom it is allocated for as long as he or she is a paid-up member of the
200 Club.
Prize Draw
All share numbers are included in each monthly draw. The
draw is made by at least two Club Executive Committee Members. Prize
money depends on the number of paid-up shareholders that month.
Example
Income from 200 shares @ £60 per share £12,000
Monthly prizes (1st prize £200, 2nd prize £120,
3rd prize £80, 4th prize £50) x 12
Annual Draw
£5,400
£600
Profit for the Club £6,000
You can see that this scheme raises serious money for the Club –
and gives you a chance of winning your money back each month –
and more!

If you are buying the number as a gift, please write the name and address
of the recipient on the application form. We will then send you a gift card
for you to give to the person.
Don’t forget you can purchase as many shares as you like. All shares
purchased in a calendar month will be included in the next month’s draw,
which will take place on the 2nd Tuesday of the month.
The results will be posted on the website and will appear in the
newsletters and on the clubs facebook page.
Investing in the Future:
Whilst our U18s are technically very good they
lack the knowledge and understanding for the tactical side of the game.
Therefore the Club wants to develop an academy to help these young
players make the early transition to 1st team hockey. This format has been
successfully applied by a number of National League Clubs (Beeston, etc).
If these kids improve their game knowledge then this will benefit every
team in the Club as these young players work their way through the XIs.
As the financial incentive is so good, why not get family and friends into
this 200 club? It’s such a simple way to raise money (for you and the
club!), but this will only work if we all do our bit selling these tickets!Each share is numbered and that number belongs to the member
to whom it is allocated for as long as he or she is a paid-up member of the
200 Club.
