Matlock Town launch prize draw to boost fundraising efforts


The draw, which will run through to Saturday 31 October when the lucky winners will be announced, was on Matlock’s radar to stage before the Covid-19 outbreak.
The pandemic has seen Gladiators’ officials double their efforts to raise funds as a follow up to their Just Giving Appeal which brought in over £17,000.

“We haven’t had a prize draw for a good few years so we thought this draw would be a decent fundraiser as we all continue to work hard to bring money into the club,” said Chairman Bryn Apperley.
“We’ve had some very generous donations of prizes and I’d like to thank everyone who’s provided prizes for the draw.
“I’m sure we’ll have a great response from the local population who were brilliant with our Just Giving appeal. If you can sell us some tickets, or provide a prize, please call in at the club shop or ring 01629 583866. Alternatively please ring me on 07795 377893.”
