You can help us win the lion’s share of a $400,000 prize pool on offer to NRL clubs in one of two Club Member Races, simply by signing on as a Sharks member in 2014.
And for the first time, NRL Club members will have the opportunity to decide exactly how to spend the winnings from two membership races, which are based on attracting the most new members from the start of the race to the end of the race.
There will be a total prize pool of $200,000 across each race, consisting of $100,000 in cash and $100,000 in advertising grants.
In the first race, prize money will be offered to the three clubs with the greatest increase in their total membership number by Tuesday, May 20.
Race two will reward the top three clubs with the greatest percentage increase in their total membership number, during the same period.
“We are having two races to ensure that clubs with a larger membership base as well as those with smaller membership numbers can compete,” NRL Head of Commercial Mr Paul Kind said.
“We thought that it was important to give our club members a say in how they would like some of their prize pool is spent. It’s a great way to get the members excited and hear their thoughts on investment.
“Suggestions might include a member’s party, new club facilities, charity donations and interstate travel rewards.”
Please find below race starting points, breakdown of prize money and 2013 Membership figures relating to Race two.
