From the Recreation Association:
Many thanks to everyone who has supported the Winsford 100 Club so far, and a warm welcome to our new members. New members have been contacted and given their draw numbers. If you have recently joined but haven’t heard from us, please call Jane on 01643 851329 — it may simply be that we don’t yet have your contact details. Please rest assured though, your number has been entered in the draw.
As we mentioned in our recent leaflet, your membership not only enters you into the monthly draw but also makes a vital contribution to the running costs of our recreation facilities. Your support genuinely helps keep these spaces open, maintained, and welcoming for the whole community.
We are now beginning our visits to say hello and collect subscriptions from those who prefer to pay in cash. If you’re not in when we call, we’ll leave details of the other ways you can make your payment.
Once again, many thanks to all for your continued support.
Kind regards
The Winsford Recreation Association
