1. Rugby Union clubs across the country can expect a welcome boost to their funds to launch 2008 in positive fashion if they support an annual New Year initiative from the RFU. The Rugby Football Union’s Grand Draw kicks off in January, so those clubs who have not been able to put in place all the logistics for a successful Christmas raffle of their own can join an initiative that has already raised over £1 million for participating clubs. Key to success for clubs, who can enter free of charge and free from any organisational activity in terms of setting up the draw, is that all the hard work is done by the RFU organising committee, but clubs receive 90% of the revenue they generate through ticket sales as a tax-free donation from the Rugby Football Union Draw Society. In the four years the Draw has been running, the sum received by the clubs who have participated has reached £1,002,000, with last year’s Draw raising over £385,000 and providing over £346,000 to share between 673 clubs. Lucky for some, 13 clubs raised £2,500 or more and another 92 over £1,000. The highest amount raised was £7,550! Some clubs organise their own draws and raffles at Christmas, putting together a prize list and printing and paying for tickets. This is not the case with the RFU Grand Draw - everything is provided free and even the postage is pre-paid. A superb prize list is being put together with over 40 prizes and a total value of over £40,000.
2. All clubs need to do is organise to sell the £1 tickets - a task made very easy with such a superb prize list. All clubs in membership of the RFU will automatically be sent details by post during the week starting January 14, 2008 and there are four months to sell the tickets before the Draw takes place in mid-May 2008.
