The Century Club is the Cricket Club’s main annual fundraising activity and was established a few years ago by our Immediate Past President Ray Greatorex.
The original objective was to sell 100 tickets at a cost of £25 a year. This was achieved in the first year and the £2500 raised was split equally between Wisborough Geeen Cricket Club and prizes to the members of the Century Club.
Ray subsequently decided to set a new target of 200 tickets. . However he will need the help of those Cricket Club members and supporters who are not presently involved if this target is to be reached. On achieving this objective the draw will be renamed the 200 Club.
There are 4 draws a year which are held at the AGM ( December / January).the Annual Dinner ( March), Presidents Day ( July) and the September Committee Meeting. Each draw consists of 5 prizes
The total amount raised each year is split equally between the prize winners and Wisborough Green Cricket Club. Assuming the target of 200 tickets is reached this would produce prizes totalling £2500 with a similar amount for our Cricket Club.Those attending the AGM earlier this year will appreciate the need for this annual financial assistance
We would like to encourage everyone to get involve with this very positive ionitioative . If you would like to join would you please contact Ray either by email ( ray.greatorex@bakertilly.co.uk) or telephone 01403 700 796 who will send you a standing order form for completion .As mentioned each ticket costs £25 a year and members can have up to 4 tickets.
Payment is required in October each year in good time for the new draw year. However, if you would like to take part in the remaining 2011 draws taking place in July and September, Ray will happily accept a cheque for £12.50 being six months contribution.
We do hope you will decide to join. Remember half of your membership fee is returned in prizes and the other half is used to subsidise the cost of running our Cricket Club for the enjoyment of our players and supporters.
