£100 Number 128 Derek Stevenson
£75 Number 194 Tony Usher
£50 Number 64 Ian Nicholson
Congratulations to the winners.
Thanks to all those that have contributed to Boost the Budget, the 400 Club and have bought Goldrush tickets. As a result of your generosity, the Trust has been able to donate £16,000 to the Club to help with Dowse’s Budget in these tricky times. Although government grants were available for the first half of the season, funds were only available as loans for the second half, so the Club has only (very) limited funds from the sale of streams* and from the Trust. It has been reluctant to take up the loans offered without the income to repay them.
*Note that if you became a Silver/Gold member when it looked as though fans would be allowed back, as they briefly were, you can get streams through to the end of the season without charge. Details are on the Club website here.

£100 Number 158 Jim Fender
£75 Number 177 David Holmes
£50 Number 118 Philip Crawford
Congratulations to the winners.
To date, the 400 Club has paid out £7,300 in prize money and has given £13,500 to the football club which is brilliant and a big thank you to all our members past and present, not everyone renews!
Because of our success I am pleased to announce that we shall be increasing our draw frequency from quarterly to bi-monthly, so that makes it SIX draws a year enabling us to give a further £450 out in prize money therefore a total next year of £1,350 in the regular draws and plus the £500 for Christmas, that’s a total of £1,850.
So good luck to our existing members and hopefully we can entice non-members to sign up to the ‘400’.
Application forms for 2021 are available below and as they say, ‘you have to be in it to win it!’
Thank you. John Hooker
