About the Club
The Friends of Halsway Manor 200 Club was established in 1989 to help support the activities of the Halsway Manor Society, which is a registered charity.
Each annual subscription to the 200 Club of £12 resulted in £6 going to HMS for the upkeep of the manor, whilst giving subscribers the opportunity to win one of the four cash prizes in the bi-monthly draws (for example of £100, £50, £25 & £25 at a membership level of 200).
The founders of the 200 Club were members of Guildford Folk Dancers Club, who ran the club until 2014 when a new committee based in the south-west took over. After 11 years that group decided it was time to pass the baton on, but with no group coming forward, that group decided to close the club after the January/February draw in 2025.
As a result, the membership is gradually being run down.

Latest Draw
The draw for the September/October prizes in the Friends of Halsway Manor 200 Club took place on 30th October. The numbers were again drawn using www.calculator.net/random-number-generator.
Numbers up to 250 were eligible for inclusion but with the exception of 39 ‘vacant’ memberships. 186 current members were thus eligible to participate, so the top prize was £93.00 (= 186/200 x £100).
Four numbers were drawn, all being eligible numbers. Congratulations to our winners!

As reported, the club will close on March 15th 2025; members are slowly responding to the formal closure notice which has been sent to all members by email or post.
