“The 500 Club is run entirely by volunteers. It is a very well-run fundraising scheme raising significant sums on an annual basis which have been donated to the Club foralmost 25 seasons. The donations have funded many varied improvements and contributed significantly towards the maintenance of Whaddon Road.

When I joined the Board in 2016 I was aware of the existence of the 500 Club and of Steve Smith’s commitment to the cause. At that time however I was not aware of the full extent of the effort that Steve, his son Ashley and Dave Taylor put in to running the Club nor was I aware of the extent of the membership or the sums raised and donated to projects around the ground. The 500 Club is in my view a uniquely effective fundraising scheme which enables fans to support the Club by means of their individual membership whilst at the same time providing fans with a realistic prospect of winning good prizemoney.

I would like to sincerely thank Steve, Ashley and Dave for their long-term commitment to the 500 Club and for the funds they have raised. I should also like to thank each and every member of the 500 Club for their continued support. I encourage other fans, their families and friends to consider joining to not only help the Club but to also have the opportunity of winning great cash prizes.

If you support Cheltenham Town and want to have a chance of winning some great cash prizes please join today. I thank all of the existing 500 club members for their continued support of the 500 club, and hope that it continues to grow.”

Thank you all.
