Google reviews

If you have 5 spare minutes, please can you do a Google Review for the club? It helps our visibility! https://g.page/r/CTXtXyATLVIFEAE/review Thank you!

Moving to cashless

As a club we are moving towards cashless transactions. We encourage you to use your card/phone/watch to pay on the Sumup machine where possible. It is becoming increasingly challenging to access cash/change from the bank and so we have little choice but to move with the times......we appreciate this can be a bit tricky in the galley with smaller amounts of money and we are working on a solution for this. Thank you.

100 Club

I'm reaching out as I have recently taken over the HBSC 100 club lottery from Steve and Jane. As part of the transition process, unfortunately Nationwide are making us set up a new bank account. So we are reaching out to all the 100 club members with the new standing order details that we need everyone to switch to.

I am sorry it is a real pain, but please could you set up new standing orders to the below account and then cancel the old ones. Much appreciate if you can confirm when you have, my phone number is below if its easier to message on whatsapp.

We really appreciate your continued support with fund raising for the club by participating in the 100 club lotto.
