All your favourite events for the festive season return this December, starting with a Christmas warm-up party on 11th and concluding with live music on New Year’s eve.

No expense has been incurred with the decorations as we recycle the barely used ones from 2020, the bar is fully stocked, and we have some real Christmas crackers for you – events that is!

Christmas celebrations last year might have passed you by or left you underwhelmed due to the constantly changing restrictions, so this year we are making extra effort to bring you more than just mistletoe and wine.

The season starts Saturday 11^th December with a Christmas Warm Up Party to help shake off the winter blues and get you in a festive mood, with 70’s and 80’s dance music brought to you by a live DJ and spot prizes on the night for those who embrace the vibe of the night in the most impressive style.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing you at one or more of our upcoming events!

Cashback Or Donations?

If you regularly shop online you might already be aware of the cashback options from sites like Topcashback and Cently that will credit a few pennies to your account when you use their app or browser extension when you make purchases.

There are drawbacks to using these sites as you have to build up credit beyond a set threshold before you can transfer the money back to your account, and in my experience it doesn’t always show up in any case.

Free Donations When You Shop

Rather than clawing back a few pence here and a pound there, have you ever considered that charity organisations can benefit greatly from the combined power of shoppers all over the world? Simply selecting a charity with a few clicks will ensure they receive a set percentage from your purchases automatically.

Amazon Smile

When you smile, the whole world smiles with you. The whole Amazon world that is. Yes, you can now shop on Amazon and have 0.5% of your purchases donated to a charity of your choice. Once you have made your selection all you need to do is to remember to use the Amazon Smile link before browsing and shopping.

The site is essentially the same as the familiar site, with the same products and prices. Amazon do not pay to advertise Smile which is how they are able to cover the donations without increasing any prices. This is also why it is important to get the word out to a wider audience.

Easyfundraising

For almost everything else there is Easyfundraising.org, a site that a considerable number of retailers are signed up to (over 5,000), with more being added weekly.

It was originally conceived as a platform for lesser known charities to raise donations, and if you are involved with a local charity you can easily register and use their campaign templates to get the message to your followers.

With a few clicks you can add the app extension to your browser (no technical skill required), and it will alert you when you visit a site that is registered with them. All you have to do is confirm that you want the retailer to make a donation on your behalf, to the charity you have chosen, when you checkout.

All the instructions are on the site and you can start making a difference straight away.

Seasons Greetings to all our members and friends, and a big thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout this challenging year!

A big thank you also to our new stewards and our regular and occasional staff, all of whom embraced the frequent changes at short notice so that we could keep our doors open. We take our Christmas hats off to you!

Whilst we reflect on the good times we have enjoyed in the past, we can also look forward to better times ahead. You are all in our thoughts at this time, and we wish you good health and happiness until we are able to welcome you back.

We might not be able to celebrate with each other this year but we will raise a glass to one and all, and look forward to seeing you again soon!
