9/4

Thanks again for everyone coming, over £300 was made on the horses plus whatever was taken behind the bar so was all good for the club. There are more pics of the night on the Bude FC Facebook page so check them out.
 

You can also own a horse before the evening in any of the first 7 races, it's just £2 to own a horse, if your horse comes in you win £8, easy. There is a list on the wall at the clubhouse, think of a name for your horse, write it against the race you want and put your own name next to it. Just hand your money in behind the bar.

The horses in the final race of the night will be auctioned off on the night to the highest bidders with more cash up for grabs. Various other games will be played during the evening.

If you're in the Bude FC '200 Club', then the April draw for £300 Woolacotts vouchers will be made during the evening along with the accumulator draw which is now up to £200, to win the accumulator you must be at the draw !!

We ran this evening a couple of years ago and it was a great night and should be again, the more we can get up there the better the atmosphere and a superb evening of entertainment should be in store.
 

For players, your managers will soon have a list to note down who's coming and you will need to decide what you will eat as there will be a choice. Your £20's will need to be paid to the managers at least 2 weeks before the dinner as we have to give the golf club exact numbers of who's coming, we wont be collecting money after this time.

For non players/wives etc, please speak to Julie Hodgson who will collect everyone else's names and collect monies.

Happy new year everyone, here's to another great year of football.

Not much action on the football front the last week or two and nothing over Christmas although there are games (weather permitting) the first weekend/bank holiday in January.

We are holding a Christmas pool match, it's Bude FC versus Werrington Cricket Club at the Lucky Kiss on 29th December with around 7.30 start. A draw is also being made during the night with all proceeds being split between both clubs. Even if you're not in a team, come along and support the evening, should be a good night.

Have a great Christmas everyone and a great New year !!!!!!!!

We have some numbers still available for the 200 Club. Just £50 a year, there are some great monthly prizes and money up for grabs. Thinking of a Christmas present, what about giving a gift of a years membership to the 200 Club. It helps get the 200 Club numbers up and is a different type of gift for someone. For more info just contact the club.

The reserve team though progressed to the next round of the Cornwall Junior Cup after they beat Duchy League 2 side Maker with Rame 4 goals to 2, John Clayton was in fine form as he netted all 4 goals for Bude.

Next weekend is the Novembers 200 Club draw at the club and they are also looking to be doing a bingo night, be there !!!!

Note for the diary. Saturday 13th November, a 'Live' coaching session is being held from 10-12 on the Junior school pitch for ALL level 1 coaches and anyone else interested in taking their level 1 coaching badge. For more info please contact Richard Pinkus on 01288 355501

Also during the night a curry and quiz night was held by Gary Westlake. A great evening and big thanks to Gary for all the hard work that went in to the evening.

Also every month there is an accumulator draw which starts off at £50, if your number is drawn you win that money, you must be at the draw though to win this one, if not it rolls over to the following month with another £10 added to the total. Its currently up to £130. To buy a number just give Richard Pinkus a ring on 01288 355501 for more details. It can be paid monthly by standing order or just a one off payment of £50.
