Progress so far, and our next meeting
Thanks VERY much to Neil from Napoleon IIIrd and Sean from Shut Your Eyes And You’ll Burst Into Flames for wearing Brudenell t-shirts onstage at the Leeds festival. (The BBC site shows Napoleon IIIrd on stage, with Neil on the right of the pic).
T-shirts are available from the club for £6, or from this site for £8 (the extra £2 covers postage, packaging and PayPal fees). All the profits go towards the purchase of a new PA for the Club. To buy one, see the Brudenell fundraising shop.
Thanks also to the Leeds Guide for publicising our t-shirts, and our fundraising, in the current issue.
You’ll see a little fundraising progress bar around the site now - on this page, it’s sitting on the right below the links. As you’ll see, we’ve now broken the £1000 mark and have cash to buy a Mackie desk and a new amp. Once these are installed, the PA will be more robust. We’ll be able to broaden the range of sound engineers that can use it, and start training those who wish to use the PA system in the future.
Finally, we decided to apply to Awards for All for a £10,000 grant towards our target and have almost finished the application, so we will keep you up to date with our progress. Many thanks to Jamie at Oblong for his help, and to James Monaghan, Lib Dem councillor for Headingley, for agreeing to assist us with the application.
The next meeting regarding PA fundraising is on Wednesday 30th August at 6pm in the lounge bar at the Brudenell.
