In
an effort to raise additional funds for the club, allowing us to keep future fee
increases to a minimum the club is looking to set up the following:
100
Club - Although we are calling it the 100 Club, we will
begin running the draw as soon as we have 30 members, but we will not exceed
the maximum of 100 numbers.
The entry tickets will be £4 per
month per number if paying by standing order, or £48 per year/£24 per 6 months
by cheque. Anyone can join; friends, family and work colleagues.
The club will pay out depending
upon the number of entrants, for example with 30 members it will pay out £30,
£20 and £10 per month, with £60 being raised for club funds.
Initially
we are looking to gauge interest – please contact treasurer.lesc@hotmail.co.uk to
express an interest, this will not be a commitment to join.
Easyfundraising.co.uk – we are currently
in the process of registering the club with easyfundraising.org.uk which helps organisations raise money when their
supporters shop online. It works
in a similar way to many other loyalty
shopping sites, but instead of earning points when you shop, you raise a donation for your cause instead.
It's as simple as that! You can shop with over 2,000 well known stores and each will donate up to 15% of what you spend. For example, John Lewis will
donate 1%, Amazon 2.5%, The Body Shop 6%, some insurance retailers will even
donate up to £30 simply for taking out a policy with them!
Further
details will be posted when we have them so watch this space.
Supermarket bag pack – we will be repeating last
year’s event on Saturday 4th of May at ASDA in Long Eaton. Keep the
date free; more details to follow nearer the time.
