The Hougham Village Hall 100 Club
Hougham Village Hall has a 100 Club to support the upkeep of the Hall and you can help us by joining up. A 100 club is a group of people who raise funds for a charitable cause using a lottery. Members of the club buy numbered tickets which go into a regular draw. (For a 100 Club, there are 100 tickets). The winning ticket number each month is £25 and is drawn at the Pop Up Pub on the last Friday of the month by a member of the public. For the Christmas Draw in December, the prize is £50. The winner is announced in the Hougham Herald (and/or on the website). The Hougham Village Hall 100 Club is regulated by Dover District Council. Belonging to the 100 Club will cost you £12 per year and you will be making a contribution to ensuring the Hall stays open. Please join our Club!
The licence number for the Hougham Village Hall 100 Club is LN/000004506

Support the Hall with the Dover Lotto
The running of Hougham Village Hall costs £18 per day. You can help us keep the hall and win prizes by buying a ticket from the Dover Lotto. The cost of the ticket is £1.00 per week, of which 50p goes to Village Hall Funds while giving you the chance to win prize money of up to £25,000. (Any donated winnings are much appreciated).
Dover Lotto is run by a private company for Dover District Council. It’s a weekly online lottery which costs £1 per ticket. 60% or 60p of that price goes to good causes and if you nominate the hall 50p comes to us and 10p to Dover Community Fund, 20p goes towards prizes and the remaining 20p is for running costs and VAT.
