The Stables - World Class Music and Entertainment

Founders were an invaluable form of support for the new Stables building in 2000 and now that we have entered our next phase of development we are delighted to have launched The Stables' Next Stage Founders scheme.

The Next Stage Founders initiative is for people who share a common commitment and passion for our performance, participation and education programmes and want to actively demonstrate support for the venue’s future development.

As The Next Stage project is now underway, it is crucial that our first fundraising target of £240k is reached in order to complete the first phase. For this reason the Next Stage Founders scheme has been designed to help The Stables with project cash flow, while providing a tax efficient means of support that provides benefits to it’s members over five years. The cost of joining the Next Stage Founders scheme has been split into a membership fee and a suggested minimum donation.

As well as enjoying a closer relationship with The Stables by being personally informed with our regular activities and enjoying additional exclusive activities and events, the Next Stage Founders scheme includes the following benefits:

• Welcome pack
• Complimentary season brochures
• 10 days priority booking
• 7 days ticket reservation
• No booking fees
• Free exchange of tickets (minimum 7 days prior to show)
• Complimentary tickets to selected events
• Discounted tickets on selected shows
• Voting membership of Wavendon Allmusic Plan Ltd
• VIP parking
• Invitations to special events
• Discounts and exclusive offers at selected local establishments
• 10% discount in The Stables Spinadisc music shop and on room hire
• Next Stage Founders name association with one show per annum to include programme credit and invitation to the show and reception.

Cost
The value of these membership benefits is £200pa (single) and £300pa (joint) inclusive of VAT. Next Stage membership is for a 5 year term and therefore the cost of membership is:
Single Next Stage Founder membership fee: £1,000
Joint Next Stage Founder membership fee: £1,500

In addition to the basic membership fee we hope that Next Stage Founders will top up their total support for The Stables with a tax free donation and would suggest an appropriate minimum gift for members of this scheme of £500 (single) and £750 (joint).

If you are a UK taxpayer you can make your donation worth more. For every £ you donate to The Stables, we can reclaim tax to increase your donation by 28p through the Gift Aid scheme. This means if you make a donation to The Stables of £1500 the full value is actually worth £1920.
