• Raise funds and sponsor gigs
• Act as ambassadors for Wakefield Jazz
• Enjoy a range of benefits and social activities

One priority is for us all to work together to increase the number of people who come along on a Friday night. (Another ten people per night on average would make a big difference!)

There will be opportunities for the “Friends” to meet together to receive reports on the club’s progress (including an annual report on finances) and to provide feedback to the steering group. These meetings would also enable the “Friends” to set their own priorities and identify new projects and activities.

It is recognised that not everyone will be able or want to attend meetings and those who prefer to contribute in other ways will be encouraged to do so. There will be regular newsletters to keep everyone up to date with what’s happening. It is not intended at this stage to have a membership fee.

You can become a “Friend” by completing a registration form. This is available online from the friends application button (top right) or you can collect one at the door the next time you come to a gig.

Note:
Completed forms can be emailed to the above address, left at the door on a Friday, or posted to: Wakefield Jazz, Wakefield Sports Club, Eastmoor Road, Wakefield WF1 3RR.
