A Relaunch of Our Monthly Draw

This isn’t just a rebrand — it’s a reset, built around transparency, visibility, and genuine support for the club and venue.

What Happens to Current Draw Members?
If you are already part of the existing monthly draw, you won’t miss out.

• All current members will be contacted directly
• The existing draw will come to an end after March 2026
• Active participants will be automatically upgraded into The Blue & White Club

This ensures a smooth transition and gives our current supporters priority as we relaunch.

Why Are We Relaunching?

Our monthly draw has been running for almost six years, but over time participation dropped and interest faded. We listened to feedback and identified some clear reasons:
• The draw lost visibility
• Results weren’t always promoted
• Draw dates changed too often
• People didn’t know where the money was going
• There was no clear way to see how the draw helped the club

Rather than letting it quietly fade away, we decided to do it properly — with a clear purpose, consistent delivery, and full openness.

Why a Monthly Draw Still Matters

When run well, a monthly draw is one of the best fundraising tools a club can have:
• It provides steady, predictable income
• It’s low effort compared to constant events and raffles
• It keeps people connected to the club, even if they can’t attend regularly

The Blue & White Club is about giving supporters an easy way to contribute and maybe win, every single month.

What Is The Blue & White Club?

• A monthly 50/50 draw
• £5 per ball, per month
• Paid by standing order
• Open to anyone aged 18+
Each month:
• 50% of the pot goes to one winner
• 50% goes directly back into the club and venue
The more people involved, the bigger the prize — and the bigger the benefit to the club.

Where the Money Goes (And Where It Doesn’t)

This part is important — and we want to be absolutely clear.

✅ The club’s share of the draw will be used only for tangible improvements, such as:
• Equipment
• Decorating and refurbishments
• Training gear
• Facility and venue improvements
❌ The money will not be used for:
• Wages
• Salaries
• Day-to-day bills or running costs

Every three months, we will publicly announce exactly how the funds have been spent, so everyone can see the real impact their support is making.

Transparency & Visibility

To make sure this draw never “disappears” again:

• Every winner will be announced online
• Past winners will be listed on the website

This draw will always be run fairly, consistently, and openly.

A Fresh Start

The Blue & White Club is about:
• Supporting the club and venue
• Giving something back to the people who support us
• Doing fundraising the right way

This relaunch is our commitment to making the draw visible, honest, and worthwhile — for everyone involved.

April 2026 will be the first month of the new Blue & White Club Draw - But you can join immediately.
