Fundraising exercises

The Treasurer (who else) has initiated two fundraising exercises for the Society and we need your help to raise the funds required to fully restore our Kitson locomotive:

·       Easyfunding - This method of fundraising rewards the Society for online purchases at any one of several thousand online retailers. There is NO CHARGE to any of the subscribers.

·       47 Club quarterly prize draw.

 

Easyfunding
Following a larger than expected quote for the restoration of the boiler on the Kitson, the Society has signed up with Easyfunding to raise further funds. There over 7,000 companies who will pay a percentage of whatever you spend with them.

It's easy to sign up and doesn't cost you anything!

The Hon Treasurer has already used it to raise money through Booking.com, Compare the Market and Sainsbury's.

Give it a try, and let's get the Kitson back in steam!

For information on how successful this can be we understand that the Talyllyn Railway raised £30,000 using Easyfunding.

 
47 Club
The proposal in detail is:
  • Subscription - £5 per month (First come first served!)
  • Quarterly Prizes - 1st Prize - £100, 2nd Prize - £50, 3rd Prize - £25.
  • Start  date July 2023
  • Numbers to be drawn at Worcester meetings.

If we end up with substantially more than 47 subscribers, we will increase the prizes proportionately.
