Helmdon 200 Club

The Helmdon 200 Club began life in 2010. Two of Helmdon's most important buildings, St Mary Magdalene Parish Church and the Reading Room are in constant need of funds for care and repair. Separately the two buildings' management committees had had the idea of organising a monthly lottery so the suggestion was made that a combined lottery be formed with the proceeds divided equally between the two buildings.

A joint organising committee was formed in early summer 2010 and tickets began being sold. The idea is to sell 200 tickets for £25 each making a total income of £5,000. A monthly draw is held (see rules) and after paying out prize money, the committee has been able to pay out £1300 in each year to each of the Reading Room and the Friends of St Mary Magdalene.

The normal monthly draw has prizes of £100, £40, £25, £15 and £10. Depending on how many memberships are sold, the Committee may be able to add extra prizes. For the period November 2017 to October 2019, a sixth prize of £10 was added.
