Thank you very much for being a member of the FOSM 200 Club in 2025.
Whether or not you have been one of the lucky winners in this year’s Draws, we very much hope that you will renew your membership for the coming year. As before, the cost of each number is £12, which gives twelve chances of winning the monthly prize of £50. Club Membership is open to all, and you may, of course, as several members have done, buy extra numbers to increase the chance of winning, either for yourself, of as a gift for named others.
Since FOSM was started in 2001/2002, we have contributed over £130,000 to the Parochial Church Council towards a wide variety of fabric repair and restoration work at St.Mary’s. Indeed, the PCC are currently considering urgent major structural works, which once approved by the Diocesan Architect, are likely to result in substantial bids for further FOSM assistance.
FOSM took over the running of the 200 Club during 2022, since when membership has risen, and your subscription has been part of a useful contribution of over £1,600 per year towards such needs in the future. We have still not yet met the original aim of having 200 members, which leaves room for more members and of course increases the odds in your favour!
