50/50 Draw Appeal.

16/11  Dear members, just a reminder that the 50/50 lotto is continually running fortnightly and every euro is hugely appreciated. The funds raised will contribute to the continued upkeep and development of our course. The new 50/50 lotto year starts 1st. December, but please note it is 26 draws from when you pay.  €50 for 1 entry fortnightly (26 weeks).  €100 for 3 entries fortnightly (26 weeks).  Entry every fortnight in the clubhouse is €2 per entry or €5 for 3 entries.

If you wish to partake in our lotto, please use envelopes provided or if none available, please put your fee in an envelope and write Club Lotto, your name, phone number and fee amount and place in box in lobby. Thank you all in advance for all your support during the year.

 

Management Committee.

16/11 50/50 draw.  For those of you who are already entered in the lotto draw, your lotto will continue until the end of your 26 week period. If you wish you can now or when your lotto ends top it up to the end of the financial year of the club (30 November).  This move to start the lotto each year on the 1st of December is to facilitate easier monitoring and managing of the fundraiser. We thank all of you who continue to support this fundraiser and request those of you who have not yet participated, to please join the lotto, as it is an essential fundraiser for the upkeep and development of the course. The Management Committee.
