General manager, Peter Sargent said he felt it was important the club give something back to its members.

"We know it's been a difficult year so we thought we would do a big $50,000 members draw just in time for Christmas.

"It's called the Christmas Cash Cracker and it started on Monday, with winners being drawn at 1pm December 24."

For a chance to win members just have to make a $3 purchase in the bar, coffee shop or The Grind, a $5 purchase in the bistro or $10 purchase in the bottleshop, swipe their card and they'll get an entry.

But you have to be a financial member to be eligible to enter.

Mr Sargent said the cash draw is the biggest the club has done for decades.

"It's a large amount, and we thought the most important thing was to try and spread it out as much as possible. There will be eight winners, with each prize a significant amount from a $25,000 first prize down to $1,000, all of which will make a significant difference to someone at Christmas."

He said with COVID-19 restrictions limiting numbers, winners do not have to be at the club to win.

All up there will be eight prizes up for grabs; a first prize of $25,000, second prize of $15,000, third prize of $5,000 and another five prizes of $1,000 each.

Mr Sargent said the draw was about thanking the club's loyal members..

"Our club has recovered (from lockdown) quite well because of the support of the community" he said.
