In 2001, the Club entered into a new venture to raise funds for charities; the 250 Club. The concept is extremely simple and operates very much like a lottery. Anyone who joins pays in £1 a week, generally by Direct Debit, and for this they are entered in a monthly prize draw.

This venture is expected to raise approximately £5500 in a year which is kept in a separate Community Fund so that every penny collected is re-invested in the local community. A minimum of 250 people need to support the 250 club to enable reasonable prizes to be offered, and currently we have over 270 entered.

The 250 Club is run by Donald Sinclair of D Sinclair and Co, 33 Trail Street in Thurso. For further information on this fund, please call at his shop.

The Club's first £1000 winner was Calum McKenzie (second right) seen here with Donald Sinclair, Freda Sutherland (another winner in the draw) and 2002-2003 Rotary President Ian Manson.
