Donations

At the time of paying fees members are also asked to financially support some or all of the Festivals and Events. Both the Spring & Autumn Festivals require both financial support and participation from our members to prepare publicity, and stage these keynote events in terms of tourism attraction each year. Much of the eternal funding applied for by the committees is only provided on a ‘dollar for dollar’ basis so your donation is important.

All businesses, irrespective of whether they have a direct link to tourism, benefit significantly from the additional funds and economic activity these festivals generate. This has been independently estimated to be worth some millions of dollars to the community annually. Without business support the future of the events would be uncertain.
