Membership fees – this is our main source of income and you can help by recruiting more members. There should be another Bowling For Beginners course next year so invite your friends along.
Other ideas – we are always open to suggestions of other ways to raise funds. If you have any ideas that you would like to try please see me. In the past we have had a Race Night, Spot the Bowl competition, Plant Sales, Music Evenings, Tombola stalls at Sports Charity events
We also benefit from the following Norton Sports Charity activities
Norton Sports Charity Monthly Draw – By entering you will be taking part in the monthly draw for the current first prize of £200 , a second prize of £75 and a third prize of £50 and also boost both Norton Bowling Club’s and Norton Sports Charity’s Funds. Simply complete a Standing Order Form for £4 per month available in the Pavilion.
Amazon Smile – This is only for registered charities and so we cannot take part on our own behalf but the Norton Sports Charity is part of the scheme. You can access Amazon through easyfundraising and all the funding comes to us.
Molines Cross – all members are encouraged to use the facilities after matches or whenever they fancy and to attend events that they promote. Profits from the The Moline Cross are eventually fed back into the Sports Charity and will benefit us all.
