When we launched the 1875 Club Lotto earlier this year, our objective was simple: create a sustainable way for supporters to contribute to the future of Brixham Rugby Club while having the chance to win monthly prizes.
Just a few months in, we’re delighted to report that the scheme is off to a promising start.
We now have more than 50 members taking part each month and have already paid out a number of cash prizes to lucky winners. Alongside this, the lottery has generated funds which are beginning to contribute towards future club improvements and investment. Early financial results show that after launch and promotional costs, the lottery is now generating a growing surplus for the club.
However, this is only the beginning.
Why The 1875 Club Matters
Brixham Rugby Club is a not-for-profit organisation. Every pound we generate is reinvested into improving the club, supporting rugby and enhancing the facilities that our members, supporters and the wider community enjoy.
We want Brixham RFC to be a thriving community hub. A place where people can come together, enjoy sport, socialise, celebrate special occasions and feel part of something special.
We also want rugby to be accessible and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of age, experience or background.
At the heart of our rugby ambitions is a clear objective: to sustainably play Level 4 rugby.
Achieving that goal requires investment. Not just in players and coaching, but in facilities, infrastructure and the overall experience we provide both on and off the field.
Looking Ahead
One area we are keen to improve is our main bar and clubhouse environment.
Enhancing these facilities will improve the experience for our existing members and visitors while helping us attract a wider audience to the club. A busier clubhouse generates additional income, which in turn helps support rugby, facilities and community activities.
The stronger the club becomes financially, the more we can invest in making Brixham RFC a place that the whole town can be proud of.
Our Next Target – 100 Members
While reaching 50 members is a fantastic start, our next target is clear.
During August and September, we will be launching a membership drive to grow the 1875 Club Lotto to more than 100 members.
If we achieve this, the lottery will become a meaningful and recurring source of income that can help fund improvements year after year.
