Normally the 200 Club draw is held at the AGM. This year, for obvious reasons, that was not possible so Wendy Smart (of Botley) and I did the draw together last Tuesday. As the AGM was delayed the numbers that went into the hat were those contributing between April and July, to maintain consistency with previous draws, rather than April to September. The amount available was reduced as some of my regular subscribers were unable to make their usual cash payments in person. Anyway, the results of the draw, as announced by Pete Jordan after the Zoom on-line AGM this afternoon, were as follows:

Draw Date: 22/09/2020

Draw for April to July money
Prize Accumulation £34.00

Winning Numbers Winners
First 50% £17.00 13 Allan R Yalden
Second 20% £6.80 15 Viv Nobbs
Third 10% £3.40 25 Nikki Brown
Fourth 10% £3.40 35 Piers Armstrong (2)
Fifth 5% £1.70 6 Pete Jordan
Sixth 5% £1.70 28 Peter Hill

I shall be sending the prize money out shortly. The Training and Development Fund will also benefit by £34 as a result of this draw. The next draw will be in November at the Executive Committee meeting. If anyone would like to join the 200 Club please send me your details as listed on the 200 Club section of the Guild website.

Those of you who have attended the Annual District Meetings held so far this year will be aware that the new 200 Club is now up and running, and I have already received several cheques, standing order form copies or BACS transfer confirmations. More are needed to have a worthwhile amount for the first draw at the Executive Committee meeting on 25th March! Please note that if you told me last year that you would be interested in joining the Club I still need the completed forms giving confirmation of money coming in before I can add you to the list.

Best of luck in the draw!
