Fundraising

If you have read the information on Subs you will have seen that we endeavour to keep our subs level down by running various fund raising events throughout the year to boost our group funds.

What Events do we run?

Our events generally form one of three patterns:-

• Fun Events
• Events which provide a service or goods to others
• Sponsored Events

Typical Events

Not all of the events shown below are run each year.
