Jubilee Club
Most of us like a bet and we’d all like
to afford to give to charity! Here’s a simple way to have a
chance of winning £10, £20 or £40 each month and once a year in
October as much as £200 and yet give something to Charity. For £6 a
year you can be a member of our Regional Council’s Jubilee
Club. 50% of the proceeds passes to the Regional Charity at
the end of the year; 50% is handed out in Prizes through the
year.
Please contact Mike Browne on 01305 833426 or
mike.browne37@btinternet.com
to join or for more
details. You can join at any time but need to be at the start
of the year for the big prizes.
