Since the Covid problems we now run our concerts with free access and a retiring collection instead of tickets. This makes our concerts accessible to everyone, and we have the additonal benefit that we are able to collect Gift Aid on most of the retiring collection.
Please consider supporting us by becoming a Friend or Sponsor. We offer the following benefits, which are given wherever possible as “thank yous” not as a matter of rights:
- Friend – £15/year single or £25/year for a couple: There is no specific benefit but when occasionally we run special private concerts where the number attending is limited because of space we will try to invite Friends.
- Gold Sponsor – £200/year single or £300/year for two people: Your name on our website, a reserved seat on request at all concerts, and invitations to any special private events such as Receptions. Please note that we cannot guarantee to provide front row seats as there can be more requests for them than there are seats, especially ones with a view of the piano keyboard. Where we cannot satisfy all requests we try to make allocations on a fair basis taking account of how long a person has been a sponsor. We also reserve seats for people who provide regular practical help in the running of the concerts. In all cases the seat allocations made by the Chairman or the person running the concert need to be respected as final and not become a matter of argument.
The schemes run for the calendar year and any payments received from September onwards apply for the autumn and the following year.
To become a Friend or Sponsor please either:
A: Pay via PayPal using one of the following links
Become a Friend: £15/year single or £25/year for a couple
Become a Gold Sponsor: £200/year single or £300/year for two people
B: Make a payment by transfer or standing order to “Tilford Bach Society (CIO)” Account: 00030776 Sort Code: 40-52-40
C: Send a cheque payable to “Tilford Bach Society (CIO)” to TBS Secretary, 1 Adams Drive, FLEET, GU51 3DZ
We can claim Gift Aid on these sums and this increased the benefit to TBS by 25%. So if you have not already done so please make a Gift Aid Declaration. Ths can be done quickly and easily by an on-line form, an email or by printing and posting a form. Details HERE
Please note that payment as a gold sponsor is meant to be additional to donations into the retiring collection at a concert. It is not intended to be a “season ticket”.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
