I want to update all Gold League Members about what is happening in response to the Corona Virus Pandemic with all its terrible consequences
We are conducting the weekly draw every Friday evening following National Guidelines on Social Distancing. The Gold League Committee join the process by a live Whatsapp Link ensuring that everything is done openly as normal. I believe that some members have not been receiving the weekly prizewinners email . We have had some IT problems which hopefully are now resolved. Can anyone still not receiving the emails contact me at gordoncarter62@btinternet.com
Given the financial uncertainty that many of you are facing it is unsurprising that we have had a significant reduction in active members over the last couple of months. We expect that this trend may continue until we emerge from this crisis and return to some sort of normality
Given the drop off in members and subsequent reduced Income we have had to adjust the Prize Structure
At this point we have taken the decision to continue with
- Weekly Draw of £150,£50,£50 +£50
- Monthly Draw of £500 , drawn on first Friday of each month
- We have removed the quarterly £1000 draw, that is the only change at this point
As you will all be aware Scottish Football at all levels was shut down on 13th March. When it is deemed safe to do so we will look to get the players back to training and preparing for a new season.
We are well aware that we will face a massive challenge to generate enough income to cover our expected costs. Many of our fundraising activities will not take place given the likely extension of rules on Public Gatherings. Similarly much of the income we normally get from Sponsorship will be under threat
This means that the income we get from the Gold League will be even more important than it is in normal circumstances
We would like to thank all of you who have continued with your membership through these difficult times
Best Wishes and Stay Safe
Gordon Carter
