Objectives
The Fund Raising Committee is a group of volunteers from throughout the Branch who source/ make and sell various goods in aid of the Oxford Diocesan Bell Fund, the interest from which is used to assist in financing the maintenance and restoration of bells throughout the Diocese.
Merchandise is sold at local bell-ringing events and taken to some markets and charity events. Some, but not all, products can be ordered by mail.
The Branch 100 Club
The 100 club raises money for the Guild Bell Fund. The cost is just £5 a year and there are lots of cash prizes at each of the monthly draws. If you are not yet a member and would like to join just send an email to the secretary.
The Club draws had been suspended for many months during the restrictions of Covid-19. In order to distribute the remaining prize money there will be two draws, one in August 2020 and the other in September, the end of the 100 Club year.
The next season for the 100 Club will start as soon as regular ringing and meetings are allowed.
