HAWK CONSERVANCY 100 CLUB

THE HAWK CONSERVANCY 100 CLUB
WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?

One of the perks of being a Member of the Hawk Conservancy Trust is that you become eligible to join the 100 Club. This is a group of Members who want to do that little bit more to support the work of the Hawk Conservancy Trust but perhaps do not have time to volunteer, or live at a distance from the Park. It is relatively painless as well!

Club members pay just £5 per month for a share in a monthly draw, with an extra draw in November as a Christmas Special.  Payment can be made by cheque or Bankers Order, either monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annually, and members can hold as many shares as they wish.  Each month the winners receive:-

1st Prize
£100
2nd Prize
£50
3rd Prize
£25

Surplus funds are donated to the Hawk Conservancy Trust to pay for special one-off projects, such as the provision of paths and a parking area for the disabled, a state-of-the-art incubator and - this year - two new wheelchairs. From the figures below you will see how much we have paid out in prizes and donations since the 100 Club began in 1994.

WE ARE GETTING CLOSER TO BUYING THAT LIFT.

The 100 Club's latest project is to help the Hawk Conservancy Trust improve their facilities for disabled visitors by providing a lift in the Conference and Education Centre (pictured), giving access to the upper floor and balcony. We aim to raise £16,000 and, as you can see below, we are climbing toward that figure. BUT, at present progress, it will still take us many months to reach that target. Obviously, the more shares we can sell the faster we will raise the money. This is where you can play your part. Join us - it's only £5 a month - and give us that lift as well as giving yourself the opportunity to be a winner.

If you would like to join the 100 Club – and are already a Member of the Hawk Conservancy Trust – please contact Thelma and John Cobbold through the Hawk Conservancy Trust Office, send an email to hundredclub@hawkconservancy.org or ask in the Shop when you next visit the Park.
