the duration of his membership with the Club) certain benefits
associated with the Jump For Fun Racing Limited's ownership of
the horses currently in training. The benefits are as
follows:-
(a) an opportunity to follow every one of the
horses owned by the Club;
(b) to share the Club's
yellow and black colours; and

sale of any of the club's horses, in accordance with the terms

a full period of 12 months from whatever date the member

given for any part of the period.
(3) Prize money won
by the horses during the period of membership is repaid to the
current members at the end of the year. The year will run from
1st May to 30th April. The prize money allocated to the
members will be distributed in equally amongst the
members, with each member receiving a payment pro-rata to the
portion of the year during which his membership was active.
There can never be any guarantee of any future level of prize
money, given that this is dependent on how well the horses
perform on the racecourse and the quantity of members at the
relevant time. Where any horse is sold by the club and
realises a profit on its original purchase price and purchase
costs then 50% of the profit will be distributed equally
amongst the members. With each member receiving a payment
