The Manx Harriers 100 Club was established in 1993 with the
aim of raising club funds. It is a simple but yet very effective way of
generating funds for Manx Harriers. In recent years the number of members has
dropped, as renewals have not been made. My objective is to get the numbers
back up and hopefully achieve the ultimate aim of having all 100 tickets paid
up.
The 100 Club is basically a monthly draw made at the monthly Manx
Harriers Committee meetings and prizes are awarded to those members whose
tickets are drawn out. The size and number of prizes awarded depends on the
number of paid up members e.g.; when there are 70 members then the monthly
prizes are £25, £5 & £5. With fewer members the prizes are less. In
accordance with the Gaming, Betting & Lotteries Act (1988) we must ensure
that 50% of the monies collected are awarded as prizes, with the rest going
towards assisting Manx Harriers athletes to travel to the UK to compete in
various events.
It costs a mere £10 to join if you use the bankers order
form, and £12 if you wish to pay by cash/cheque (payable to Manx Harriers). Please fill in the membership
form and complete the bankers order. In order to cut down on the administration
I would urge all prospective members to use the Bankers order form and have the
payment made automatically each year.
The draw is made at the monthly Manx Harriers Committee Meeting and winners will be notified by post, with cheque enclosed
