200 Club

Another year has passed and the 200 Club membership has shown a small decline.

Last September we had 70 members and this year we have a total of 66. As I said last year, we seem to be stuck around this mark and I am grateful to all those who contribute so willingly. It would be a great help if Branch Secretaries could distribute copies of the entry form at their events – dinners, lunches, race meetings – and generally spread the word.

DOUBLE YOUR CHACES OF WINNING!!!!!

Why not have 2 or even more numbers in the draw?
One member now has 4!!!

The prizes might not be so good as the National Lottery, but your chances of winning a ‘tenner’ are much greater. Remember, all the profits go to benefit the school.

During the winter, a long serving member of the 200 Club, Tony Cotes, sadly passed away on 3rd December 2012. Tony taught classics, was housemaster of Grindal for seventeen years and Deputy Head for three. He was also Secretary of the Society and organised a famous 60s dinner and compiled the Old St Beghians’ register. Tony, you will be greatly missed and our condolences go to Liz and the family.

More recently John Bell, a former pupil (FN 55-60) and past president (2004-2006), also died. John was a great supporter of the 200 Club. Like Tony he was responsible for organising a very successful dinner for those who attended St Bees in the 50s. Our thoughts go to his wife Olive and his family.

After prizes have been distributed for September 2013 and March 2014 we will have about £1,786 in the ‘kitty’. 

The results of the September draw may be seen previously in the Bulletin within the AGM Minutes.
