PRIZE DRAW RULES
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Prize Draw is to raise funds. The money will be paid into the Grassington Devonshire Institute’s Community bank account and used for general improvement of facilities and activities.
RULES
- As part of the membership package, you will be allocated one number between 1 and the current number of entries.
- The draw will be made, normally, on the second Monday of each month at the regular meeting of the GDI Trustees. A random number generator will be used to select a number from the membership list to provide a winner. Should the meeting be cancelled (a rare event) then two Trustees will meet to make the draw.
- The prize is fixed for 2020 at £50. This will be reviewed annually. The balance of income will go to GDI funds.
- The Prize Draw is a private lottery and is open to all members of the Grassington Devonshire Institute and others, who will to contribute to the GDI’s funds but who are ineligible for membership. For those not yet members, completion of the direct debit mandate for membership automatically enrols you, entitling you to all the other privileges membership provides.
- Anyone age 16 or over can join.
- Payments must be made by standing order (preferably monthly) or annual cheque. One month’s notice is required for cancellation.
- Members’ numbers will only be entered in each monthly draw if their subscription is up to date.
- If a member has no valid reason for missing a payment, their number may be allocated to someone else to avoid gaps in our number sequence.
- The winning cheque or direct payment will be sent out within two weeks of the draw.
- The name and numbers for each month’s winner will be included in the notes of the Trustees’ meetings and posted on the website www.grassingtondevonshireinstitute.org .
- The Prize Draw will be run by the GDI Trustees. In case of any dispute, the decision of the Trustees is final.
- Unless otherwise advised, a member will be deemed to have left membership and hence the Prize Draw if his/her subscription renewal remains unpaid for a period of one month.
- If a winner cannot be contacted, the winnings will be placed into GDI funds after six months.
