8. Fund-Raising
The club at this moment need’s £5000 per season to run properly, so we need a steady in come. The last 2 race nights have grossed over £1,000, so we may start to run them at Charnwood if they Sponsor us
A long debate ensued as to TB idea of scrapping Predictor in favour of all Players paying £5.00 Subs per game or £20 per month standing order. GE proposed selling tickets for 200 club = £50 per week for the club draw in Charnwood (subsequently agreed GE to run £200 Club) which is completely different to subs. Proposal is Subs needed to cover running costs,(£2,150 last year) next year will be £5.00, which is the same they always paid Or Standing order of £20 x 9 months only, To be discussed and agreed at next AGM
TB to explain his SO Subs idea.
