Thank you to all those who have responded so far to the announcement that plans are now well underway to re-start the popular St Joseph’s 200 Club. Following a gap since the last draw at the end of 2022 the 200Club 2023 is now accepting new members with existing members invited to re-subscribe, with the first of twelve-monthly draws to be held in July 2023. 

The Club brings members together to take part in a parish fundraiser through a monthly prize draw. Annual membership will remain at £120 for entry to all the monthly draws for the year. All proceeds will again be split 50:50 between parish funds and monthly member prizes. Alastair Coulthard has volunteered to administer the Club as it. Please contact 200club@stjosephs.org.uk to register your interest and/or ask any questions.

St Joseph’s 200Club General Membership Information:

• The 200 Club is an annual members’ prize draw club, with a maximum of 200 members. It is a parish fundraiser event with draws held monthly.
•  Membership is £120 for the membership year, which provides each member with entry to 12 monthly draws. Membership is open to previous new members with the first monthly draw for paid subscribers in July 2023.
• All proceeds are split 50:50 between parish funds and member prizes. Previously the scheme was very popular and when the full subscription of 200members was reached, raised £12,000 for parish funds.

• Member prizes each month are paid by cheque. Cheques are valid for six months and any cheques not cashed (unpresented) within 6 months of issue are out-of-date and will not re-issued.
• Members may purchase more than one membership if desired, subject to availability.
