THANKS to thousands of Norwich City fans who have saved money in the Canary Account, Norwich City Football Club received the latest annual bonus payment of £210,354 from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society (N&P) at the Bolton Wanderers match at Carrow Road on Saturday, February 4, 2012.
The latest figure of £210,354 brings the total amount Norwich City Football Club has netted from the Canary Account to £3.6million since the account was launched in 1997 and 2012 is the 14th consecutive year the account has generated a six-figure sum for the Club. A truly great achievement, all down to City fans saving their money in the Canary Account.
Norwich City's Head of Sales and Marketing, Will Hoy, said: "Thousands of Norwich City supporters, saving money within the Canary Account, have yet again helped the Club receive another considerable cheque from N&P and we thank all our current Canary Account holders on achieving this latest figure.
"We would also like to extend our thanks to N&P as a loyal, long-standing partner of the Football Club and thank you to all their staff for their continued support."
N&P's General Manager Sales and Marketing, Mike Sketch, said: "We're very proud of our continuing involvement with the Canaries, and are delighted to see a local club in the Premiership and performing so well. The passion of the fans is superb, as demonstrated by the amount they've raised for the Club by saving with N&P."
To celebrate another fantastic contribution there will be a spring prize draw for all new and existing Canary Account holders, plus a special junior event for its Junior Canary Account holders.
There are three fantastic prizes up for grabs. Any City supporter who opens a Canary Savings Account at one of N&P's branches with £100 or more, or who adds £100 to their existing account and doesn't withdraw it before Monday April 16* will be entered into a draw to win a 2012-13 Norwich City season ticket, two seats at the Norwich City End of Season Awards Dinner or £250 paid into their Canary Account.
