100 Club

ROBERT GLANVILE PLAYING FIELD TRUST

AN INVITATION TO JOIN OUR 100 CLUB 2021-2022

 A big THANK YOU to everyone who supports the playing field by contributing to our 100 Club.  We are also grateful to the Friendly Society and to the Parish Council who stepped in to fund essential repairs to the swings.

Together with funds from stewarding at the Glastonbury Festival, and our annual quiz, the 100 Club is a key source of income for the playing field trust. Covid has meant that Glastonbury is cancelled again this year but we hope to run a quiz in October if regulations allow. The 100 Club is the one initiative we can definitely hold and our licence has just been renewed. The first draw of the 2021-2022 will be made in July. The cost per person is £12 per year.

HOW TO JOIN

If you are happy to continue or would like to join please would you place cash or a cheque for £12 (£1 per month), payable to ROBERT GLANVILE PLAYING FIELD TRUST or RGPFT, in an envelope. Write YOUR NAME and 100 CLUB and a CONTACT NUMBER/EMAIL ADDRESS on the front and hand it in at the shop. The shop is already accepting payments. If you prefer to pay by BACS the trust’s account details are as follows:

ROBERT GLANVILE PLAYING FIELD TRUST
CAF BANK
SORT CODE 405240
ACCOUNT NUMBER 00015438

PLEASE PUT YOUR NAME AS THE PAYMENT REFERENCE AND EMAIL JAN AT owlshaunt@btinternet.com WITH NAME and CONTACT EMAIL ADDRESS/PHONE NUMBER

The first draw will be in July so if you wish to be included please make payment by 17 July.  Winners’ names will be on the village website and in The PEW each month and prizes distributed to winners. There is a 1st prize of £20 and 2nd prize of £10 each month.

Please pass this information on to anyone you think may be interested in supporting the playing field.

Thanks again for your support and we hope that everyone stays safe and well.
