The Committee has agreed that as a fund raising excersise and a bit of fun for all of you we will try to set up a 100 Club. Right now we just want to know how many people are interested in the idea and to help you the basic setup is shown below.

It is very similar to the National Lottery:

1. Participants pay to enter.
2. Part of the money raised is paid out as prizes.
3. The remainder of the cash is retained by BLTC and used for the benefit of our members.

There are some differences to the National Lottery:

1. The game is monthly.
2. Entry is by standing order / direct debit (which can be cancelled at any time).
3. There are no roll overs

Right now we are simply trying to get an idea of how many Members would like to play. Ideally we would like 100 (hence the name!) but it could run with at least 50. To help understand the game better, here are the answers to some frequently asked questions:

How much does it cost to enter?

Entry is by way of a monthly subscription of £5.

How do I play?

The easiest way will be to fill in a standing order mandate, which tells your bank to pay your entry fee to BLTC each month. [Those of you with internet banking could set this up online]

What if I wanted to stop playing?

You will be able to cancel your standing order at any time by contacting your bank. Again if you have internet banking, you should be able do this yourself on your bank's website.

How do we know who's still playing?

Each standing order mandate includes the player's name as a reference and is paid on the 1st day of the month. The 100 club administrator checks the amounts received each month. Anyone who's paid is in that month's game, anyone who hasn't is out.

How will the draw be made?

The draw will be carried out on a monthly basis by the BLTC Committee during their monthly Committee Meeting.

How do I know who's won?

Names of winners will be posted in the clubhouse and on the home page of the website.

The prize winners will also be contacted directly, so their prizes can be paid.
