Fundraising
Our primary sources of funds are the annual membership fees and fundraising events, such as Table Top sales.
Table Top Sales
We have had a number of successful Table Top sales, usually in conjunction with the Village Hall committee.
The most recent one was the Christmas Fair on December 7th 2024 A full report, with photos, will be coming shortly.
Table Top Sale November 2024
On November 10th we had another successful Table Top sale.
We followed up our successful launch events with a repeat of last year’s table top sale in Kilmelford Village Hall. Held jointly with the Village Hall, this year the sale opened on Remembrance Sunday just after the two minute silence to a steady stream of eager buyers looking for bargains.
As before, the hard-working team organising the sale had attracted over 20 sellers who had arranged their tables with their wares or items they no longer wanted, or even a mixture of both. Many generous local businesses had donated fantastic raffle prizes and when LMKC’s Chairman Stuart Cannon drew the winning tickets, there were a lot of happy winners gladly claiming their prizes.
All day the wonderful team in the kitchen worked hard to provide tea and coffee, sandwiches and many homemade cakes and biscuits at a very reasonable price. Locals and visitors from further afield welcomed the chance to catch up with friends and purchase some bargains ranging from garden tools, clothes, toys, bric a brac, candles, coffee and bird food.
After expenses, nearly £900 was raised and divided between the Hall Association and LMKC.
