As we are sure you appreciate, running
Jedforest Instrumental Band costs a great deal of money each year. To enable us to invest in its future and that
of our many talented young players, we need to raise an average of £17,000 per
year - a substantial amount of money.
Much of this money goes to
funding our tutors and musical directors, ensuring that your children get the
very best tuition, free of charge, on their chosen instrument. We know how much
you value this opportunity, particularly in today’s financially challenging
times. With the money we raise, our young players can progress through the
different band levels, finally becoming full playing members of the Jedforest
Instrumental Band.
Without the invaluable generosity
and help of our loyal supporters, finding this money would be an almost
impossible task. Many of you have kindly
offered donations in the past, so with this in mind, we have decided to
introduce a new ‘Friends of Jedforest Instrumental Band’ scheme for 2013.
For an annual donation (minimum
£10 per ‘Friend’) you will become a ‘Friend of Jedforest Instrumental Band’ and
receive the following privileges:
·
Your name will be included in Concert
Programmes
·
You will be entered into an exclusive
‘Friends’ draw for a £30 Prize at both the May & September Concerts
·
You will be entered into an exclusive
‘Friends’ Christmas Draw for a £50 Prize
at the Christmas Concert
·
In addition, if you are a
taxpayer the government will add another 25% to your donation. The more you donate, the more “Gift Aid” we
will receive.
If you would like
to become a ‘Friend of Jedforest Instrumental Band’ please follow the link below and fill in the form and return to:Mrs Joyce Lightbody, 39 Howdenburn Court Jedburgh, TD8 6NP
