As you will appreciate, it takes not only a significant amount of time to run a cricket club, but a lot of money too! The Club is committed to ensuring that we provide our members with some of the best facilities in the County, but this comes at a cost.

We are therefore delighted to announce that the Club has created a 100 Club to raise valuable funds every year for the running of the Club.

By joining the 100 club you can help ensure that the Club and its facilities remain some of the best in Leicestershire as well as having a chance to win cash prizes every month!

The Countesthorpe Cricket 100 Club is a private lottery and is open to all club members, their friends and family along with all residents from Countesthorpe and the surrounding area. As a private lottery you have to be invited to join, you will be allocated a number and your tickets are not transferable.

Please note that you have to be 16 or over to join.

Each month:

· There is a draw for 50% of the income. This amount is divided between 2 or more lucky winners

The fund is made up as follows :

· For example, if we have 100 members the income for that month will be £200

· 50% will be used as the prize fund e.g. £100 split into two prizes

· The 1st prize will be 75%, so £75 (if 100 members)

· The 2nd prize will be 25%, so £25 (if 100 members)

· You may buy more than one number per month

· We would prefer for you to pay for 12 months in advance (£24 per number)

· The more people who buy a subscription – the higher the prize money,so please encourage people to get involved!
