Fundraising
Albeit that we try to market our productions as well as we can to maximise tickets sales, the reality is that it is increasingly important to fundraise between shows to enable further shows to be staged. It is very difficult to raise the revenue required from ticket sales and membership fees without pricing ourselves out of the market. Therefore we rely on various ways of fundraising to help us stay in ‘show business’! Do please read on below to find out different ways in which you can support us.
Sponsorship / Advertising
We are always looking for people to sponsor us or aspects of our productions. Maybe you could sponsor a particular production by paying for / offering your businesses services for items such as the printing of the programme or flyers, donation of prizes for raffles etc.
There are also opportunities to advertise with us. You could advertise on our website, in our programme, on the back of our flyer, all at very competitive prices.
If you are interested email vicki@forestmusical.co.uk for further details.
Become an Honorary Member
Honorary Membership enables you to provide support to us without having to be involved in the productions. For Honorary members the subscription is £20 per annum including priority booking forms for every production, discounted tickets on some productions, regular receipt of the Newsletter and invitation to the AGM yearly. Email val_mutch@hotmail.com for further details.
Fundraising Social Events
We run one quiz night each year usually in January. This is a very popular event with the quiz pitched with just the right balance between finding out who really knows their stuff and knowing enough to avoid looking a fool! The ticket price includes supper and, usually, fish and chips. Contact Vicki@forestmusical.co.uk
Bingo Nights: Lindsey Levison has organised an annual Bingo Night for the last few years. Email lindsey@forestmusical.co.uk for more details
