Facilities Lottery
The Senators Club at NARFC has been a stalwart for decades. The Club was started to raise funds and give something back to the participants, from pots and pans to Teasmades (look it up on the internet!).
We want to relaunch, revitalise, and give everyone a real reason to participate. The premise is simple: every month, you pay into the fund, 50% of the contributions go into the prize fund, and the other 50% is allocated towards improving the facilities at our club’s very much loved home. The more members, the bigger the prize fund and the faster we improve our community’s and members’ infrastructure. For that reason and clarity, it will be renamed the Facilities Lottery.
How are the winners selected?
A number will be assigned against your name in our records, and we will make the name and assigned number visible at the club. A digital random number generator or Tumbler will select a number each month to determine the winner. This will be a live stream on social media, the result will also be posted on the website, and you will be emailed directly if you should be the lucky winner. Monies will be transferred directly to the bank account that you pay from.
How is the money split, and what is it spent on?
50% is allocated towards pitch maintenance and grounds care; 40% is allocated to the prize draw each month; 10% is allocated to the Annual Grand Draw.
The Annual Grand Draw is drawn at a senior home match during the season. This will not be online but at halftime of the match. There are three winners of the prize fund. They are split 50%, 30% and 20%. This draw will be in addition to the monthly prize fund.
Existing Members
We want the existing member to review their Standing Order dates from quarterly to monthly where possible, as this will enable clearer accounting and cash flow.
