JOIN THE 500 CLUB
THE 500 CLUB has been the foundation of the club's major project fund raising for nearly 50 years ..... originally set up in 1965 to help raise the money to construct the then "new" changing rooms! It works very simply with members contributing £5 per month via a standing order and of the monies raised a total of 33% is paid out in monthly prizes drawn on several occasions each year and the balance is paid into the Development Fund.
Over the years, funds raised through the 500 Club and other sources such as the renting of the the tea room to Wizzkidz, provision of facilities to film location companies and a variety of other sources including a legacy of £40,000 from the late Harry Porthouse. have been "ring fenced" in a Development Fund to be spent on major projects. In the last few years £150,000 has been raised and spent as follows;
The expenditure of just under £100,000 in the last 18 months on the floodlights, access road, car park and netball court has depleted our reserves which need replenishing in order that the Board will always have funds available for similar requirements in the future without having recourse to borrowing. Under way at present is an upgrade of the bar area together with the bar itself in connection with a new "professional approach" to the hiring out of the club's facilities.
Under consideration is the long overdue upgrading of the boiler and heating system, the showers and other requirements related to the playing facilities but further funds need to be raised to achieve these objectives.
If you are not already a member of the 500 Club could you please help the Club's fund raising efforts by completing the attached application form and returning it to me at the address indicated on the form.
