Ongoing Funding Pavilion and Playing Fields
The income from User Groups does not pay all of the running costs of the Pavilion and Playing Fields. We have to make up the difference with fundraising. If you want to contribute to this fundraising then please consider giving by Gift Aid.
You can download a form below and follow the instructions. If you are a UK taxpayer then by applying Gift Aid allows us to claim an extra 25p in every £1. If you are unable to, or don’t wish to Gift Aid then a non gift aid form is also provided.

200 CLUB
Grindleford Playing Fields Association 200 Club
The Grindleford Playing Fields Association 200 Club has been run in various forms since about 1978.
The current subscription is £1 a month, or £12 per annum, paid either in cash or preferably by standing order.
Over the years the club has raised considerable amounts of much needed money to help with the maintenance of the Bishop Pavilion, the play area and the field itself. Whilst most of the mowing, sweeping and general cleaning is done by volunteers considerable expense is incurred such as fuel and service to mowing equipment, cleaning, decorating and other consumables used around the buildings and field. We are proud of our facilities and want to keep them up to standard.
A monthly draw is held at the Playing Field Association management meeting or a suitable GFPA function. Prize money is as follows:
Monthly except Carnival and Christmas: four x £10
Carnival day: four x £25
Christmas: £200, £100, and £50.
Half the monies collected are returned to members by way of prizes. These prize amounts are reviewed annually to reflect the number of members contributing. The club is regulated by rules approved by the national lottery and amusement act.
The club never quite reached two hundred members and membership has declined over recent years now standing at around one hundred and thirty members. We want to boost that number and get more people to join the club, particularly those who enjoy the facilities of Bridge field and the Bishop Pavilion.
Possibly quite a number of people, particularly newcomers to the village, are unaware of the club. If you are willing to join please phone Joy Benn on 01433631221 or approach any member of the Playing Fields committee. You can download a membership using the link below.
