N
OW is the time to become a
Member of NSCnews Online.
At just $2 a month, it’s a
token payment that could
earn you big benefi ts.
Already, it’s paid massive dividends
for former ADF member John
Hathaway who won $4,500 in the
new Digger Dollars competition.
(Story, page 5).
John was the second person
to buy a membership to the
magazine in October last year.
Members are automatically included
in all Digger Dollars draws where
the prize will increase by AT LEAST
$750 each month until it is claimed.
Members accrue points in monthly
draws - 3, 2 1 - for fi rst, second and
third in the draw, and six points
is needed to claim the prize.
The thing is the earlier you begin
your membership, the more tickets
in each draw you will have... one
ticket per month of membership.
This month the prize reverts to
$750 and all points are reset to zero...
there’s never been a better time to join.
There are other benefi ts, not least
being the regular Members’ draws.
Members will always get free
entry into competitions and games
in NSCnews Online and will have
one ticket for every month they
are a member in every draw... the
longer you’re a Member, the more
chances you will have to win.
Members get the magazine early
(two days before it’s released)
and are entitled to a free digital
photograph (value: $66) from
our galleries each month.
Best of all, Members are ensuring
continuation of the service the
Northern Services Courier and
now NSCnews Online has provided
to the Defence community in
NQ for more than 28 years.
