200 Club draw results – September 2020

Leave a comment

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.

200 Club Draw for AGM

Leave a comment

The next 200 Club draw will take place later this week and the result will be announced after the AGM. Because of the delay to the AGM only subscriptions covering the period April to July will be included, to maintain consistency with other draws. The next draw, around the time of the November Executive Committee meeting, will cover the period August to November. Any existing subscribers who normally pay by cash, cheque or bank transfer rather than by standing order might like to check when their last payment was made to ensure you get entered into the next draw. New subscribers will be welcome! Details of payment methods are on the 200 Club page of the Guild website.

200 Club – Results of March 2020 draw

Leave a comment

The March draw of the 200 Club, raising money for the Guild Training and Development Fund, was meant to take place at the Executive Committee meeting on 16th March. This was cancelled, and for reasons we all know I have been unable to do the draw at any ringing event since. I thought that the draw should take place anyway, so on Saturday afternoon my son Paul drew the numbers at home. He did suggest we live-stream it to avoid any accusations of bias, but I thought that was going a bit far – fortunately he didn’t draw my number!

The results were as follows:
Draw Date: 28/03/2020
Prize Accumulation: £60.00

Winners
First 50% £30.00 25 Nikki Brown
Second 20% £12.00 31 Wendy Ling
Third 10% £6.00 16 Graham Nobbs
Fourth 10% £6.00 27 Christine Hill
Fifth 5% £3.00 24 Marie Boniface
Sixth 5% £3.00 6 Pete Jordan

Nikki is currently living in Norway and has very kindly asked that her prize be donated to the Netley Abbey Bell Fund. Payment of the others may be delayed but I won’t forget.

200 Club – November 2019 Draw Results

Leave a comment
The November draw of the W&P 200 Club took place earlier this week at the practice at Upham. The results were as follows:
Draw Date 20/11/2019
Prize Prize Accumulation £74.00 Winning
Numbers		 Winners
First 50% £37.00 27 Christine Hill
Second 20% £14.80 31 Wendy Ling
Third 10% £7.40 26 Wendy Smart
Fourth 10% £7.40 28 Peter Hill
Fifth 5% £3.70 18 Tony Smith
Sixth 5% £3.70 1 Robin Milford
If anyone was wondering why the draw was at Upham practice night rather than at the Executive Committee meeting last Saturday, I forgot to take the bag of numbers with me! However, I did remember the cheque book and was able to give the Guild Treasurer a cheque for £166 for the Training and Development Fund from this year’s draw proceeds.
The next draw should (hopefully) be at the next Executive Committee meeting in March 2020. More members always welcome.

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!

Aim: To support the Training and Development Fund (T & D Fund) (a Designated Fund within the General Fund).

The fund is to support members of the Winchester and Portsmouth Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers especially to support those members under 25. The object of this fund shall be to provide financial assistance by way of grants to individuals and groups incurring expenditure on: the provision of training, attending courses and events, training materials, payment of tutor expenses, educational assets and any other worthy project to enhance and enable the development of a ringer or group of ringers, or the purchase by the Guild of goods or services to assist in the development of a ringer or group of ringers.

Due to legal requirements, only members of the W+P and its towers can be 200 club members.

How do I become a member?

By payment of the sum of £12 per annum paid by Standing Order, Cheque or BACS transfer, a dedicated number for a 12-month period will be allocated.

Draws:

There will be 3 Draws per year drawn on or near the March and November Executive meetings and at the Guild AGM.

½ of the monthly income will go to the T & D Fund and the rest will be accumulated as prize money.

Prizes:

Each draw will pay out the total of the accumulated prize fund broken down in 6 prizes:
1 @ 50%, 1 @ 20%, 2 @ 10% and 2@ 5%.

The percentage will remain constant but the actual prize money will vary dependant on the receipts received between draws.

When will the draws take place?

The first draw will take place at the W + P Executive Committee March meeting with the accumulated Prize money to 31st March 2017. The following draws will take place at the AGM, with accumulated Prize money to 30th June 2017, and the November Executive with accumulated Prize money to 30th November 2017. Continuing draws will be made in a similar pattern.

Can I have multiple numbers?

Yes, you can have multiple numbers – but each one will cost you £12!

New Look for the 200 Club

1 Comment
Many people in the Guild will be aware of the 200 Club that Mark Esbester used to run, and which raised £17,000 for the BRF over the years. That has now been wound up, but I thought that it would be a shame to see it disappear. I would be willing to run a replacement Club but with more of an emphasis on raising money for training and retention rather than bell restoration – though some money could still go to this if required. Various possible uses for the money have been suggested. These include:
  • a new Guild simulator;
  • a portable mini-ring to be used for public displays;
  • a contribution to ART funds;
  • subsidies for members attending courses;
  • publications to be given to learners;
  • provision of publicity material.
I would propose resuming the Club very much along the lines that Mark used, with an annual £12 subscription, one or two draws per year with about 50% of the income used for prizes. If sufficient money comes in Mark suggested a 1st prize of £150, with 2nd prize £100, 3rd & 4th £50, and 6 others of £25 each – total £500.
 If anyone would be interested in joining, or have any comments on the proposal, I would be grateful if you would contact me directly by email using the form below.
Please don’t send any money yet!
I cannot use the previous bank account, so will need to set up a new one and the banks these days make you jump through more hoops than they used to. As with Mark’s club, this is a private fund-raising venture and not an official Guild activity. It would be a ‘private society lottery’ as defined in the Gambling Act 2005; this means that all subscribers would have to be Guild members or on premises used for the conduct of Guild affairs. I assume this would cover tower subscriptions, of which there were some in the previous Club.
 I have seen Mark’s list of members of his Club, but it is now rather out of date and contains mainly postal addresses so I don’t want to use it for this proposal.”

WP Guild 200 Club – now wound up

Leave a comment

It seems that some members of the 200 Club did not received their letters earlier in the year from Mark Esbester advising that the club was to be wound up, nor have they been aware of the announcements that the last draw would be made after the Guild Executive last November.

The draw was made as planned and the results are here https://wpbells.org/2015/11/21/200-club-draw-results/
The account that Mark Esbester used for the 200 Club has now been closed, so if you didn’t cancel your standing order, the payment will be returned to your bank.  Please ensure that no future payments are made.
Finally many thanks to Mark for running this club since 1991, and thanks to all those who joined to raise funds for the BRF, nearly £18,000 since it started.
