November Draw

The November draw took place on Friday 25th with our regular supporters there to enjoy their fish and chip supper after the draw. We were pleased to have Lady President in attendance and asked her to pull out all the numbers for us. She was delighted when all the numbers to come out were owned by ladies!! The first prize of £649. was won by number 122 owned by June Cutler.

Second to come out was number 71 owned by B. McIntyre ( Charlie McIntyre's wife). She won £173.

Third out was number 62 which is owned by Shirley Lawton. This gave her £47.

Don't forget the next draw includes the "BIG ONE" This will be in excess of £800. It will take place at the New Years Eve social event, so get your tickets and be there to collect your cheque!!

October Draw

Our October draw took place on Friday 28th October in a fairly noisy Richard Burton room as there was a birthday party in the mixed lounge. However with our loyal bunch of followers and a musical background the numbers were pulled out.
First out was M. McHugh C/O Charlie McKintyre. We think it is his mother-in-law. It was number 179 and netted her £649.
Second was Lyndon Bates whose number 103 gave him £173.
Third out was number 14 which is the second time that Kevin J Moore has won. This time it was £47 and we caught up with him after his game on Saturday for a photo.

You may have noticed that work has started on the course furniture which is a 200 club project,

If there are any more ideas please put them forward.

The next draw will take place on friday November 25th at 8pm.

Come and enjoy a fish and chip supper and maybe a cheque as well!

September Draw
The September Draw took place at the McMillan coffee morning on Friday Sept 30th. There were lots of ladies attending and they were all hopeful for a win!
The first number pulled out was 191 and the name was B Mathews. It is Julie's father who is not a member of the Golf Club but has been a member of the 200 club since the beginning. I think his arm was pulled up his back by Julie! He won £649, and I feel sure a treat will be coming Julie's way!
Photo to follow
Second out was number 171 which belongs to Shiela Houghton (Captain Elect's better half!) They just happen to be in Australia at the moment but word got to them pretty quickly! Lets hope they celebrate "Aussie style".

Look where Sheila spent her winnings!

Third out was number 28, no stranger to success! It belongs to Dereck Smith and he won £43.
Have you registered your vote for the new proposal? Don't forget, if you have any ideas as to how our money should be spent, do a bit of homework and put your ideas and costings to the 200 club organisers.
The next draw will take place on Friday October 28th. We will revert to the old time of 8pm during the winter months.

August Draw

The August draw took place on September 2nd due to a clash of events the previous week.

Before the draw took place a few details of our income and expenditure were explained.

The last project that the members were asked to vote on ( Course accessories) has been approved, and will come in at a cost of just under £6000. We still have approximately £9000 in the bank and would ask anyone with a proposal to do the groundwork on costing so that it can be put to the membership.

Mr President was at the draw and was given the job of pulling all three numbers out of the box.

The first to come out was 93 and the helper whose job it was to scan the list to see who was the lucky owner went very quiet for a moment and looked at the assembled group. Lady President said "Whats wrong?" and she said "Its my number!" That lucky person was Judith Stanistreet who won the sum of £649.

The second number to come out was 67, this belongs to David Carlisle,who won £173, and third out was 35 which belongs to David Ashton. He won £43.

After the draw people were discussing how some members have won a few times. The only reason we can come up with is that some people have more than one number.

The Stanistreets have 3 numbers, David Carlisle has 3 numbers and the Ashtons have 2 numbers.

SO Members you know what you need to do! Buy another number!

The next draw will take place on September 30th.

July Draw

What a good crowd of regular supporters including the Captain we had for our fish and chip supper before the draw this month.

Before the draw took place the Captain seemed worried that he might once again pull out one of the "regular" winners!! He therefore asked Kevin Alston to pick the first number out.

This was number 30 which belongs to Ian Bullough. He won £645.

Lady Captain Sylvia delved deep for the next number which was 44. Tony Ball was the lucky owner and receives a cheque for £172.

The Captain then picked the third number, 43.This belongs to Tony Ball's son-in-law Colin Byrne!! He receives a cheque for £43.

Thank you to all the 200 Club members for your votes and comments on the latest project proposal. The vote was very much in favour of the investment in course accessories - ball washers, divot boxes, broken tee recepticles and bins. So very soon you will start to see these appearing on the course complementing the existing accessories we have out there for your use and convenience.

Thank you again. We really do appreciate your input.

If you have any more ideas you need to get them costed and then presented to Hilary Tarleton so that it can be put to the 200 club members for approval.

The next draw will be on Friday August 26th.

Big June Draw

June is always an exciting time in the 200 Club calendar for it is when we deliver a whopping great cheque, called the BIG ONE, to a lucky winner. This is in addition to the 3 fantastic monthly prizes.

Jack Bishop is no stranger to winning. He wins golf matches and this month he won the BIG ONE. Jack took home a cheque for £845.00. As Jack is a regular winner there is a photo on file which was taken on a previous lucky day!

1st prize was won by Kevin J Moore who netted a cheque for £645.00

Helen Ashton took a 2nd prize cheque of £172.00

Last but by no means least, Christine Harris was delighted, if a little shocked, to win our 3rd prize cheque of £43.00. "You're joking" she said.

Congratulations to all the winners and THANK YOU for your support of the 200 Club.

We have just launched our 7th Project for your approval. We have issued it by email and placed it on the 200 Club Board in the Clubhouse. So please give us your vote in the usual way - by email or by voting slip behind the Bar in the Richard Burton Room.

We wish to purchase a range of Course Accessories which will further enhance the look of the course and the facilities we provide for members and visitors. There are high quality ball washers, bins, broken tee recepticles, divoting boxes and enhanced flags and cups for our 3 practice putting greens.

Another project that we are considering currently is an "Amen Corner" at the back of the 13th green. This is one of our showpiece holes and we wish to enhance it further by introducing colour and structure. The Greens Team is conducting some initial exploratory work. When their investigations are complete, they will formulate a Project Proposal which we can share with you.

Thank you for your support and remember, if you have an idea, let us know about it.

The next draw will take place on Friday 29th July immediately preceding the mens' presentation at 8.45pm.

May Draw

Once again we held the 200 club draw just prior to the men's presentation. It looks like this will become a regular time for it.
Our loyal band of followers arrived in time to have their fish and chips before the draw. A number of men and of course the Captain arrived for the presentation and the draw took place.
Lady Captain pulled the first number out which was 135. This belongs to Annette Pilling.She won £641.00. As the Captain lives in the same apartment block as her, he was able to take it home with him and surprise her with it!


The second number out was 54, which is the lucky number of our Honorary Secretary Chris Boyes who won £171.00.



Third out was 67. This number is one of three that David Carlisle owns. No wonder his name pops up quite regularly!He won £43.00 this time.
Don't forget that next month there will be the "BIG" draw as well as the normal monthly one.

The next draw will take place on Friday June 24th at 8.45pm

We had some difficulty with the date of our draw this month. The last Friday in the month is our preferred date, but someone had decided that there was going to be a big wedding in London that day!! As our regular following of Lady members were either attending the wedding or else they were celebrating it elsewhere we knew we didn't have the numbers to make a good evening of it. However there was a Men's presentation taking place that evening so it was decided that the draw should take place immediately prior to that.
Of course the Captain was there to pull out the lucky numbers, and the first one out of the box was 55. This belongs to John Maloney who picked up his cheque for £641 on Monday morning.

The second number to come out was 152, the owner of which was there at the presentation. It was none other than our Captain Elect, Peter Middleton. The captain was able to present him with his cheque for £171 there and then!

Third out was number 65 which has been a lucky number for Pat Hannah. I think it may be the third time she has won. This time it was £43.



There will be more discussions soon as to what the next project the money raised will be spent on.


In the meantime we must encourage new members to join the 200 club and we can make even more money available for improvements to benefit all members of Sale Golf Club.

The next draw will take place on Friday May 27th at 8pm.

March Draw

Here we are a quarter of the way through the year! Our draw took place at the Mixed League Dinner on Friday March 25th. It was an exciting thought having a larger captive audience and we were confident that we would have a winner in the room. Alas this was not to be! Mr Captain pulled out the first number. It was 39, and the lucky owner is Dereck Smith. He collected his cheque for £641.00 just before going out to play on Saturday. Hopefully he was just as lucky on the course! Lady Captain pulled the second number from the drum. Number 2 is Stan Schofield's number. He won £171.00. Lady President did the honours pulling out the third number. Number 107 belongs to Gareth Moore and he won £43.00 which he collected after his golf on Saturday. It would seem from the past three months that you are more likely to win if you are not at the draw, but the more people we can get there the more likely that we will have a winner in the room.

So, Come on members and join us at the next draw on Friday April 29th.

February Draw

The last Friday in the month came round quickly this month and it was time for the 200 club draw!
The number attending was up on last month and they all enjoyed Rick's fish and chips again.
Lady Captain was there and pulled out the all the numbers.
Still no winner in attendance, but a distinct feeling of deja vue as the first number out was 18 and that is Jack Bishop's number!
He won £634. He must have done something very good in his life to be so lucky!! He has of course got more than one number so maybe that is the answer!

The second number to come out was 96. This belongs to Gill Ross one of our new lady members who only joined the 200 club in October. She won £169.

Third out was 33. This is a significant number in Glen Norton's life and gave him winnings of £42. A couple of good bottles of wine maybe Glen?!!

We continue to attract new members but would like even more.

Why not try to emulate Jack Bishop's success and get an extra number!

January draw

The first draw of 2011 took place on Friday 28th January in the clubhouse. A select gathering including Lady Captain attended and enjoyed Rick's fish and chips.

The first number drawn out of the box was a brand new number purchased since New Year!!

The lucky owner of number 151 is Jennifer Hilson, Frank's wife! She wins £634.

Second prize of £169 went to Ian Jordan.

The lucky recipient of the third prize of £42 was David Ashton whose wife Helen won the big six monthly prize on New Years eve.

The next draw will rake place on Friday February 25th at 8pm.

Happy New Year to all Sale Golf Club 200 club members!

The New Year has arrived and with it the start of the 3rd year of our 200 club.

We had our usual monthly draw and the BIG twice yearly one at the New Years Eve social event.

With 120 people attending we fully expected there to be a winner in attendance, but sadly none of them were.

The Big prize was drawn out first. The lucky winner of £840 was Helen Butcher (now Helen Ashton).

A phone call to her revealed that she was in Cyprus! However, as soon as she returned she hot footed it to the Club, with husband David, to collect her cheque.

The first prize of £673 went to Phil Whitworth. Within seconds he had got the news from some of his friends who were going out with him the following day and were intent on helping him spend it!

The second prize of £170 was won by Charlie McIntyre and the third prize of £43 went to Len Wood.

Congratulations to all the winners!

Do you know anyone (besides yourselves) who would like the chance to receive a cheque like these people did?

Just a reminder to members who pay by cash or cheque. Could you make sure your payment is in by January 20th to ensure that your number is in the box for the next draw on Friday January 28th.
