We would like to thank all parents and members for their support during the 2015 season. As you may know it has been one of our tougher years and in an effort to raise funds for our end of year junior presentations, we have initiated a raffle to cover the costs involved here.

The raffle will work on the same basis as last year where each junior member has been provided with a raffle card to collect funds from family, friends and their communities. Each raffle entry will cost R5 and each raffle card contains 15 slots. We humbly request that each member makes an effort to complete at least 1 card so that we may reach our projected targets, but also so that they may be eligible to win a special prize.

This year’s main draw prize has been decided with the first drawn winner receiving a R1000 meat voucher from Excellent Meats in Kuils River. The second prize is a Total Sports gift card valued at R400, with 2 additional prizes of a Neck and Back massage kindly sponsored by Gill’s Glam and Beauty owner, Gillian Machelm.

In an effort to make this year’s raffle more lucrative for members, each member who completes at least 1 raffle card will be entered into a separate draw to win a club sponsored football jersey of the professional club that member supports. This jersey will be purchased after the winning member is drawn. Each member has the chance to earn additional entries into the draw for each additional raffle completed. Therefore, if a member completes 10 raffle cards, that member will have 10 entries into the draw.

The raffle will close on 01 October 2015, with the draw taking place on 10 October 2015 at the Junior Presentation. All winners not in attendance will be notified via the contact details supplied on the raffle card. The full winners list will also be posted on our club website at www.KuilsRiverAFC.co.za.

The raffle will be run by Brent Machelm, our Junior Chairman, and Hilgard Mathys, assistant PRO. All completed raffles can be returned to Hilgard Mathys at the field on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Any questions, comments, suggestions or donations are most welcome and can be referred to:

• Brent Machelm : 082-612-8231
• Hilgard Mathys: 073-161-4943

The most important issue we would like to highlight here is that we aim to raise enough funds for a successful Junior Presentation, including the purchase of winner’s trophies as well as sufficient refreshments for the youngsters. More details on the Junior Presentation will be released to parents within the next few weeks.

We thank you in advance for your assistance and hope that this initiative will be well supported.

Yours in sport
