FOLKESTONE CHORAL SOCIETY

Registered Charity No 275075 R

FRIENDS & PATRONS SCHEME

The Society very much values the contribution made by Friends & Patrons. Their subscription, together with that of the members ensures that we can continue to perform a wide-ranging repertoire and to engage professional orchestras and soloists, thus ensuring a high standard of excellence.

WE INVITE you to join our patronage scheme to help us in our efforts to bring the best in choral music to the Shepway area. In return we offer you priority bookings, special ticket prices and some free tickets. You also have the knowledge that you are making a very real contribution to preserving one of England’s finest traditions. The free tickets have been held by the tax authorities to be a ‘benefit in kind’ incompatible with gift aid but if you don’t want free tickets you can increase the benefit to the Society by gift aiding your subscription.

FRIEND Annual Subscription £40 with gift aid and no free tickets, otherwise £50.

The £50 rate qualifies you for TWO FREE best price seats for our annual Good Friday concert and all Friends receive advance priority bookings for all our concerts.

PATRON Annual Subscription £85 with gift aid and no free tickets, otherwise £100.

The £100 rate qualifies you for TWO FREE best price seats for our annual Good Friday concert, two best seats for one of our other major concerts each year and all Patrons receive advance priority booking for all our concerts.

CORPORATE PATRON Annual Subscription £250 (no gift aid)

Corporate Patrons receive TWO FREE best price seats for all our concerts and advance priority booking for any additional tickets you may require.

We also offer you a FREE full-page advertisement in each of our concert programmes.

Our Friends and Patrons are acknowledged by name in each of our programmes.
