One of the many benefits of being a Hawk Conservancy Trust member is that you can join the 100 Club. This gives you the opportunity to have ‘a little flutter’ whilst supporting The Trust’s vital conservation work.
Members of the 100 Club buy shares (at only £5 per month) which are put into a monthly prize draw (with an extra draw in November as a Christmas special). Each month, three winners are drawn to receive £100, £50 or £25, respectively. That’s 39 chances every year per share to win a prize.
Payment can be made via online banking, Standing Order or Cheque either monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annually, and members can hold as many shares as they wish.
In 2023 the 100 Club donated £16,000 to build 2 of the 3 new aviaries planned near the Woodland arena. They are still being developed and are now well under way (as of May 2024) with walls and roof now erected. Have a look next time you are visiting, they are being built near Ennis and Walter, the Great Grey Owls.
In May 2024 the 100 Club donated £15,000 to the Trust. Anyone who has visited in the past few months may have noticed the pond has disappeared from the Woodland Arena, this is because there is a plan to transform the Woodland Arena and the 100 Club are funding the changes.
For those who are not aware, each year we have a number of activities to manage the 100 Club.
At the beginning of the year, we meet with Penny Smout (CEO) and Andy Hinton (Head of Development) to hear about their exciting plans for the park for the given year. Between us we agree which projects the 100 Club can support during the year, depending on their needs and the funds the 100 Club have available.
Monthly, we perform the draw and post the winners’ numbers and the updated 100 Club finances on this webpage. The cheques are posted to the lucky winners.
We have an annual 100 Club night exclusively for 100 Club members where the Hawk Conservancy Trust team put on a special evening.
We always look forward to welcoming new members to the 100 Club and we promote the 100 Club at the Trust’s Members’ Night.
