The St James' and Almshouses 180 Club was formed to provide some financial support towards the ongoing costly repair and maintenance of St James' Church and the Tregonwell Almshouse Trust.

A quarterly draw is held with the winning numbers published in The Bulletin (http://miltonabbas.org.uk/Village_Life/thebulletin.htm) and below on this page. You can win a cash prize from £10 to £50 from a total prize fund for each draw of £250 (subject to there being enough members to justify it). To be included in these draws you need to have purchased a number, the cost of which is £1 per month (collected annually in advance).

Approximately 50% of the proceeds is re-distributed via the quarterly draws with the balance donated to the two beneficiaries once a year. Surplus proceeds are donated equally to each organisation - typically £500 each, but the actual amount is subject to sufficient numbers having been bought in the first instance.

As people occasionally leave the village there are usually a few spare numbers available, so if you would like to be included in the draw and at the same time make a small but positive contribution to the upkeep of two of our most historic buildings then please contact me, Nigel Hodder, on 07983 013781 or by email at nigel2749@talktalk.net
