Our Thanks

To everyone who has contributed to the fund so far, especially the member who asked that her birthday presents should be cheques made out to Windsor Museum Appeal and managed to raise nearly £500.

To our very first contributor, who gave £100.

For pledges to give £5,000 and £2500 when we find our venue.

To all the visitors who put cash in the bucket at the Open Day and The Big Draw, especially the little girl who put in a handful of pennies – and to her Mum, who picked her up while she dropped them in.

To the members and visitors who put cash in the bucket at our meetings.

To the Windsor Observer newspaper for all their support and those people who have responded on the forms printed in the paper.

To Beryl for starting the 5p challenge, making us all obsessed with the tiny coins.

To the Mayor of the Royal Borough who has used a design by AY Nutt from the museum as her Christmas card this year, and made a contribution to the fund. To all those people who have bought our Christmas cards in the same design. And Hester, who masterminded the whole operation. We sold out by mid December. Look for next year’s card early.

To Mark, who pointed out a funding opportunity to us and helped us to complete the application form.

To those people who have signed the Gift Aid forms which will bring in Government money when we apply for it at the end of each financial year.

For many cheques for £25 and £20 and many £20 and £10 notes.

For cheques for £500, £300 and £50.

To the lecturer who gave her fee to the fund and the Church Group who unexpectedly gave one of our members a fee after she gave them a talk, and this was donated to the appeal.

To the committee member who gave her expenses to the fund.

For the many suggestions of possible venues for our museum………please keep looking.

We are doing well, but there is a long, long way to go.
