Lofthouse 2000 Brass Band

Music making opportunities for everyone.

Lofthouse 2000 Brass Band – 100 Club.

Each entry costs £5.00 per month (preferred payment by standing order).
There is no limit on the number of entries each individual may have.
You can enter at any time.
Prizes will not be paid to winning numbers unless all their payments are current.

Each month there will be a draw for 50% of the income. This amount shall be divided between 3 lucky winners.

  • The 1st prize will be 25% of the income – £125 if 100 members;
  • The 2nd prize will be 15% of the income – £75 if 100 members;
  • The 3rd prize will be 10% of the income – £50 if 100 members

As above, if the Club consists of 100 members, the income for that month will be £500 and 50% will be used as the prize fund i.e. £250 split into three prizes as described above.

The more people who buy a subscription – the higher the prize money!

You may have (and are encouraged to do so) more than one number per month.

We would prefer for you to pay by Standing Order.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What if I don’t want to play anymore? Is there a minimum term?

You can cancel your standing order at any time; just play for one month if you like. You will need to cancel by contacting your bank. Though, if you have internet banking, you should be able do this yourself on your bank’s website, or on your online banking app on your handheld devices. We will, of course, be sorry to see you leave, but if you wouldn’t mind dropping us an email to tell us you’ve cancelled your standing order, then we can double check for you that your cancellation request has been carried out.

  • How do you know who’s still playing?

Every standing order we receive shows up on our online bank account with the 100 club reference. The 100 Club administrators, working alongside the Treasurer, checks and double checks the amounts received each month. Anyone who’s paid is in that month’s game, anyone who hasn’t is out. That’s why we’d really appreciate a goodbye email, so we are expecting to see your missing entry. Please do make sure you add “100Club” + your initials in the standing order reference to help us track players.

  • Where can I see a list of winners?
