WRFC 500 CLUB

Application & Standing Order

Why not opt to pay an additional £5.00 per month and have your name entered in our monthly ‘500 Club’ draw for the chance to win up to £200 eleven times a year and up to £2000 in a grand annual draw.

This is a valuable source of funds that the Club keeps in a separate Bank Account. It is primarily targeted for specific projects aimed to protect and improve the Club’s facilities for the benefit of all members and players.

Members of the ‘500 Club’ will be given opportunities to suggest & champion future projects and to determine which projects should be supported.

We hope you will support this fund and more importantly give yourself a chance to win the cash prize. Please complete the ‘500 Club’ Application and Standing Order Mandate and return to WRFC.
