200 CLUB

We currently have 64 members which is a slight increase from last year, but still a little way off the 77 that we previously had.

This is partly due to members passing away, but it is mainly due to people making a one-off payment last year.

Please do consider renewing your membership for this year too or, better still, set up a standing order going forward.

Many thanks to Pam Rumney for designing and distributing our on-line form, which we hope provides an easy sign-up option (details below).

We currently have a total of £1573.33 in the bank. The reason for the small amounts we currently have at our disposal is due to a donation of £3,000 to the school library, which is now open, and £500 to the school’s Eco-club.

Have you thought about joining the OSB ‘200 Club’ Prize Draw?

If not, please do because…

By taking part it gives you the chance of winning a top Prize of £200 and also helps the school and the Society.

All money raised goes towards supporting the school and the St Beghian Society. Over the years a variety of projects and clubs have benefited within the school by the purchase of such things as canoes and a canoe trailer, a donation to the Car Kit Club, assistance with sports kit and sports tours, the library and also the development of the ecology pond.

Recently, the 200 Club has donated £500 to the school Eco Club and £3,000 to the library refurbishment and reopening. These contributions were very much appreciated by both the school and the students, who greatly benefit from these activities and facilities.

For just £2 a month or £24 a year you are entered into one draw a year, and the more members we have, the bigger and more prizes there are. Remember, it is possible to have more than one number in the draw – and hence potentially to win more than one prize! For information, last June’s winners are posted below.

We do hope that you will consider joining in with this fun, but also very worthwhile, 200 Club draw. Why not buy a ticket for a family member or for friends – it could be a ‘different’ and lucrative Birthday/Christmas Present or Gift for someone?

Thank you to all of you who are already members, your support is very much appreciated. And we very much look forward to welcoming many more new OSBs to the draw soon.

Entry forms can be completed online here.

Alternatively, further information can be found on the Society website, along with printable postal forms in Word and PDF format here.

Or, information and forms can be obtained from Darryl Davies, details below.

Please also try to persuade your friends to join. The prizes are not as good as the National Lottery’s, but you have a better chance of winning. The more money we get in, the more we can donate to the school and Society, and the better the prizes.
