What is the 50:50 Draw about, I hear you ask?
The 50:50 Draw is a fun way to contribute towards purchases of rowing equipment, meet up with fellow Cantabs members and be in with a chance to win a cash prize! The draw is open to all members of Cantabs.
Cash prize? How does that work if the club wants to raise money?
Great question! Cantabs members who want to take part pay a monthly subscription of £5 per entry. 50% of the entry money goes into the prize pot and the other 50% goes towards buying new kit for Cantabs or investing in facilities, e.g., boats, oars, cox-boxes, boat racks etc. Purchases so far include a video camera for coaching, junior cox-boxes, equipment for the indoor training area, and a smart gazebo which has provided shelter from rain and sun at numerous events both at Cantabs and further afield!
Can I have more than one entry for each draw?
Yes! Each entry requires a monthly subscription of £5 and you can enter as many times as you want, which will increase your chance of winning. The more entries each month, the more money in the pot and the more kit we can buy for the club and the larger the prizes.
So how do I find out if I’ve won?
For each month, we hold a prize draw, often as part of another club social activity, but occasionally as a separate informal social event at the Haymakers pub in Chesterton. Winners who cannot make it to the draw are notified of their success via e-mail. Recent winners are listed here (login required).
Sounds great, how do I sign up?
