Membership has its privileges.  All BGR members in good standing (i.e., your dues have been paid) are eligible to enter the club’s new monthly points program, which begins July 1, 2010.  Each month, members who submit a list of their club- and running-related activities for the month will be assigned a point for each activity. For each point received, the member’s name will be entered into a rewards pool one time.  One member from the monthly pool will be randomly selected to receive a $10 John’s Run/Walk Shop gift card. For example, run two races, attend the monthly potluck and come to a BGR track workout, and get four points, or four chances to win the gift card. It’s that simple. 

How to Get Points (one point each unless otherwise noted)

• Attend a monthly club meeting.
• Participate in an organized club run. (Currently there are 3 each week. Click here to read about them.)
• Run or walk any organized race or run/walk event. One point per event, regardless of distance. Get a second point for wearing BGR apparel during the event.
• Attend an organized club social event.
• Attend a BGR monthly Sunday potluck.
• Submit an article or photo for the club website or e-newsletter. (One point per month maximum) 
• Refer a new member (One point per each new membership).
• Work tent set-up and/or maintenance for the BGR ‘meeting spot’ at a local race or event.
• Organize a new club group run (Five points).
• Work as a volunteer at a local race the club is sponsoring or supporting.

How to Enter 

• Each time you participate in one of the activities listed above, send an email to  bgrpoints@hotmail.com, or keep a list and send it in at the end of the month.  Entries may also be submitted by mail to Debbie Jackson, 1011 Forest Lake Drive, Lexington KY 40515. Deadline for receipt of entries for the prior month is midnight on the 5th of each month.
• Be sure to include the date and name or brief description of each activity you submit. Points may only accrue for the month in progress. No points awarded for activities in past months.    
• At the monthly club meeting, a member will be randomly selected from all entries to receive the monthly reward, a $10 John’s Run/Walk Shop gift card.  The winner does not have to be present at the meeting.

The BGR Board of Directors reserves the right to revise the number of points earned for a particular activity at any time; and any revisions as such will be posted on the website and made known to club members.
