MFC comes to Heysham

[HALMA 1983]

In the form of a GOLD BOND weekly draw seller on my doorstep

Got nattering and told him that my son had made the trip to Chester that night and in his absence I’d better sign up for this worthy cause, gave the bloke £2 quid and he left me with a Blue ticket and paper explaining the set-up, I noticed that it's actually run by Blackpool f.c Hopefully this doesn't mean I’m subsidising the Seasiders! In which case I’d be out faster than Heseltine.
See you in two weeks were his last words as he left with a very smug look on his face

I think there's loads of Gold Bonds, for loads of clubs, Lancaster have one I think, as do most Lancashire clubs. I think it's all one big pot from what I can gather, just look at the results sheet and see where the winners are from.

Oldhamade do not worry, the admin is centralised at Blackpool to keep costs down for all clubs that are involved as number 1 says there are many different clubs involved with Gold Bond so it would be daft to have them all running the admin from all their different club shops.

I can assure you that your money does go direct to Morecambe FC in your case or which ever club someone wanted to sign up for eg Lancaster, Rochdale etc and it is a very worthy cause that provides the club with a substantial amount of income.

You can also join in the GoldBond fun by Direct Debit.

You could do it by DD but then some poor agent is loosing out on his commission

There is even a quote from our very own Rod Taylor on the site.

I was sold the DD method by some poor agent on my doorstep

who would get the commission for signing you up but then wont get the money every week for collecting it.

I assume the signing up commission is significantly more than the weekly commission. They'd struggle to catch me home so maybe it's better all round to use the DD method.

Yes but we are still talking small amounts I doubt he would be able to retire

I sometimes recommend DD if my customer is moving outside the area so all the exiles on here have no excuse.
