Music Extravaganza II
For St Peter's
Saturday 9th August at St Peter's - total of tickets, raffle and 'bucket' = £866.70 and a proportion of that will be gift-aided - thanks to all who sang, helped (in any/every way), bought a ticket, sold a ticket, donated etc etc THANK YOU ALL. A small proportion of this went to the hall fund (after all, we weren't charged for the renting! - the rest to church funds. I'm going to recommend that the profits (or should it be prophets?) go to buying a new LARGE screen for the hall - ideally 8' by 8' like the current, creased one! But we'll see!!
For Curdworth
Saturday 16th August at Curdworth - total of tickets, raffle and 'bucket' = £943.00 and a proportion of that will also be gift-aided - thanks to all who sang, helped (in any/every way), bought a ticket, sold a ticket, donated etc etc, it being our 2nd of the 3 events, I was assuming that everything would go well, having endeavoured to put things right - there were still a few small 'mistakes' again down to moi - THANK YOU ALL. I've no idea how the money will be used (but if I find out, I'll let you know.)
For Hampton
Thursday 28th at Hampton - total of tickets, raffle and 'bucket' = £1093.35 and a proportion of that will be gift-aided - thanks to all who sang, helped (in any/every way), bought a ticket, sold a ticket, donated etc etc THANK YOU ALL - the money will go into (MUCH needed) church funds (I've no idea how it will be spent but I know that people at the church are well-chuffed seeing the results of your efforts) - THANKS!!!
A combined grand total of £2903.05
I've sent this to all members of the 3 choirs (Balsall Common, Hampton seniors, Hampton AAA) and Anton will forward to his choir (if not already done). I've also included treasurers, church wardens, clergy etc.
Sitting on a VERY windy beach shortly, meal out tonight (and maybe the odd lager and/or Malbec) - 'cheers' all
If anyone needs to see all the sheets, calculations etc etc - do please email me (sometime in January 2031) - thanks - Kim
Oh and, before anyone asks, I have NO intention of organising another set for next year (VERY happy to help in any way if someone else does) but 2026, I'm having a year off from such things (DON'T ask why!!! - some simple reasons but some more sinister reasons too ... da da daaaaaaaaaaa!!!)
 | Ukraine Urgently Needs your Help: |
With regard to supplies for Ukraine, we're asking that, for the moment, you don't send anymore clothes etc - just any medication please and/or cash. The position is that we have enough supplies to fill 3 cars (all in Anton's house) but until enough money is raised to buy more cars, it's best for you to hang onto any supplies you can or, if they are in your way, please donate to a charity. Sorry about this. Thanks for all you've done so far - Kim
For more details about where our collection points are in Balsall Common and Hampton in Arden text or call Kim Rawson on 07527 540529 or Anton Rawson on 07793 780599 for Curdworth.
