But for those of you new to the Trust and / or the 1901 Club…..
What is the 1901 Club and how does it work?
26/27 will be the eighth season for the 1901 Club which is a major fundraiser for the Trust, providing a big fundraising boost going into the new season. The monies raised are split between supporting our share of the costs for initiatives within the Holker St Stadium which are of benefit to the fanbase, and a members monthly draw.
On sale from Mid July to 31st August each summer, entries cost £25 each for 12 monthly draws (September to August) with three prizes per month.
The draw prize pool for the year is 25% of the amount raised from sales, with 75% (minus online processing charges) going to help fund ground improvements.
Previously those improvements have included completing the FanZone, the Holker End Roof, the new seated stands and the Disabled shelter.
In the 25/26 season the prizes were £185, £92 and £46.
We will not know until entries close how much will be in the prize pool this time, but it would be great to be able to pay out more this year.
Anyone not online can be sent a paper form to complete and return to us.
Entries will be on sale until 31st August so don’t delay.
No lottery agents to pay, no external business taking a cut. Your money goes to your club.
The 1901 Club is your chance to help Barrow AFC grow and improve, while at the same time giving yourself a chance to win monthly cash prizes.
