It doesn’t seem possible, but we have completed a full year of the 100 Club! Congratulations to all the winners!

We have paid out a total of £1285.25!

A big thank you to everyone that has/is taking part. It has helped the Museum through a very difficult period and will continue to support us with increasing ongoing costs.

To continue with your membership, you do not need to complete a new form, just continue with the £5 monthly standing order per number, or pay £60 for the year again by 12th May please.

We would really welcome new members to join – the first draw of the new year will be in May 2022. The more members the higher the monthly and annual prizes!! See rules and application form below.

The confirmed lucky winners of the April monthly draw are:

First Prize     No. 27 Gordon    £49.00
Second Prize    No. 34 Barrett    £24.50
Third Prize    No. 49 Anon     £12.25

The Annual Draw was also held in April with a total Prize Fund of £286 this year.

The winner of the first prize was no. 49 – Anon. 

As this number had only been held for six months, as per the rules, £100 was paid as 50% of the first prize, and this created two additional lucky winners this year!

Second Prize    No. 32 Anon      £86.00
Extra Prize    No. 18 Thomson £50.00
Extra Prize    No. 16 Smith      £50.00    

Thank you again for all your support, it is really appreciated!

If you wish to support us without joining the 100 Club, you can still donate HERE.
