50 Club!

THE FIFTY CLUB

One of the ways the Grimsby Symphony Orchestra is helped to keep going is by the scheme known as ‘The Fifty Club’. Under this scheme, people buy a ticket (for £10) in a draw which takes place at the next concert, so there are two draws a year. A significant amount of the money is returned in prizes – one prize of £100, one of £50 and a minimum of two of £25 for each draw – and the remainder (less expenses, such as the licence fee) helps to keep the Orchestra going.

If there are more than fifty subscribers, extra prizes may be allocated, normally at the £25 level, but sometimes at the £50 level too. It seems that relatively few members of the audience are aware of the Club and how it works, so this notice is intended to help explain (and publicise) it and encourage participation.

Tickets for the forthcoming draw are available now (contact any Orchestra member and thrust notes into their hand), and it may be possible for us to sell tickets before the concert on May 17th (the draw normally takes place during the concert), so if your appetite has been whetted, please speak to someone BEFORE the concert begins to book your ticket.
