Charlton Club Membership Rules

Valley Gold:

Valley Gold has been created by Charlton Club and is organised by a committee to run a successful lottery wholly or mainly for the participation in or support of athletic sports or games or cultural activities.

Membership

Valley Gold membership is restricted to Charlton Club members over 16 years of age; you can buy as many memberships as you wish and as long as your subscriptions are up to date your numbers are in the draws.

Joining

Joining Valley Gold is easy, it costs just £10 per month and subscriptions can be paid monthly, quarterly, six monthly or annually by standing order through your bank or by cash or cheque. When paying by cash please ensure that you are issued with a valid receipt.

Members are responsible for ensuring that their payments are received on time, failure to do so will mean that they are excluded from the relevant draw.

All eligible numbers will be entered into the draw and Charlton Club pledge that they will audit the drum on a monthly basis to ensure that every valid number is included.

To join Valley Gold you simply need to complete a Valley Gold application form, which can be found at information points around The Valley, including Charlton's reception area or by contacting the Valley Gold office on 020-8244 7771 and request a form.

On receipt of your first payment you are immediately eligible for the Valley Gold matchday draws.
