Many of you will have already received letters over the last week or two outlining our plans to launch an Ospreylia Lottery.  This Lottery is part of the effort to generate the much-needed financial backing for Ospreys Rugby's ambitious Community Rugby schemes throughout Ospreylia & the Ospreys Academy.  With a weekly contribution of only £1, and a weekly jackpot of £650, we trust many, if not all of you will be able to join.   However, some of you have expressed concern about a couple of issues.  First of all, we are aware that some of the letters were sent in haste due to the looming launch date in early September (at our home fixture against the Scarlets on the 11th September).  Please be assured that these letters (some of which were photo-copied) are bona-fide letters from our lottery organisers.   The second concern expressed was due to the fact that some of those under 16 were also sent application forms.  We do apologise for this.  Our database, in its current form, does not include birth dates, and we were unable to adequately sift out all those under 16.  We were aware that under 16's would invariably be accompanied by adults, and as such had assumed that lottery membership applications would be vetted by parents/guardians.  Please excuse any misunderstanding caused.  Ospreys Rugby are in no way seeking to endorse any form of lottery/gambling to those under the legal age.
