Edinburgh's fantastic fundraiser the Monarchs Grand Draw are sponsoring Friday's match at Armadale against Sheffield Tigers, and are also on a recruitment drive!

If you are not in it, then maybe you should be. You could join any time but if you join on Friday at the George Hunter Memorial Lounge you can have some of our food and drink!

The draw has been an incredible contributor to the club in the last 15 years and is still in healthy shape. But there is always room for more people participating, and anyone can join or even be an Agent.

A brief description of how it works ?

1) The draw runs 52 weeks of the year.

2) Each ticket costs ?1 per week.

3) Prizes are (usually) ?200 for first, ?50 for the winning Agent, ?25 consolation.

4) Agents can have any number of contributors under their control.

5) Individual contributors can pay by standing order, and qualify for the full ?250 first prize.

6) The draw is made at Armadale during the season and usually in the Hampton Hotel during the off season.

And that's about it!

On Friday we have invited the current Agents to the George Hunter Memorial Lounge, and also anyone else who wants to be an Agent or a contributor can go up to see our representative John Scholan and sample the refreshments.

Please think about it ? you have a chance to win money every week and you will help the Monarchs as well!
