September 2018, not only marks the start of Bees adventure in National League 2 South, but also the second year of the “Bees 200 Club.” Total prize money in Year 1 was nearly £2,300, with a slightly lower amount, after bank service charges, helping to fund day to day running costs and support projects across the club.

Many thanks to the 79 people who joined the “Bees 200 Club” during the course of Year 1, but as the number suggests there is plenty of scope to increase the number of participants!

As in Year 1, 50% of the money collected will be used to help fund day to day running costs and support improvement projects across the club. The remaining 50% will be available to “Bees 200 Club” members, via 8 in season prize draws (September 2018 to April 2019) and a super draw in September 2019. It goes without saying, the more participants we attract the more the club benefits, and the size of the monthly prizes and super draw will also be bigger!

The 8 in season prize draws will offer 3 cash prizes per draw, potentially £250, £150 & £100 respectively. The super draw in September 2019, 3 potential cash prizes of £1000, £600 & £400 respectively.

Year 1 and new “Bees 200 Club” members can subscribe either by BACS, cheque, cash or standing order. Payment can be yearly (£60) or monthly (£5). Existing members will retain the same number(s) as in Year 1. New “Bees 200 Club” members will be allocated a number on completion of an application form, which can be found in the Information, then Documents General section of the Bees website: - www.beesrugby.com - You can purchase more than one number if you so wish!

Bank details: A/C Name: B&S RC Ltd 200 Club; SC: 40-42-12; A/C No: 52442264.

In season prize draw and super draw winners will be notified by email and names published on the club website.
