Hornet 200 Club

At the Hornet Europeans at Thorpe Bay YC last year Eric was telling me that the fleet’s organizing committee is always short of funds. So, I thought I might be able to help, with your support of course.
For those of us who have been around for a long time you might remember that, a few years ago, Julia Hoyle set up a 100 Club to repay Richard for his loan of money to buy the hull moulds. So, I thought this could be a good way of getting some money back into the fleet quickly again.
I am therefore proposing to re-establish the club which will work in this way. Tickets are sold for £24 per annum each, £2 for each month of the year. I will assign each member a number as they join. The draw will take place monthly. Half of the funds at that monthly stage will be the prize money. One prize only. The other half will go straight into the Hornet Fleet’s bank account. Payment is by direct debit annually.
Now it is up to you. Please set up a standing order with your bank. Details below. Then email me to confirm you have done so. I will monitor the bank account and when your amount is credited, I will then advise you of your number. Please make sure that your direct debit clearly identifies your name.
I was hoping to make the first draw on the 1 st April but bank account opening delays mean that it isn’t possible. However, if you all act quickly and we have an ample number to start, the first winner could be in May. During the season, we will attempt to make the draw at Hornet events.
So please join, set up your direct debit, and let’s start to put the Association into funds. Don’t buy just one. Get one for your children, your grandchildren, your Mum and Dad or two for you. If each Hornet Class Association member joins the 200 Club, Association funds will grow
by £360, annually and the monthly prize, £30.
I hope to hear from you very soon, happy sailing, Hilary Barnes.
£24 a year that’s all, unless you want more.
