Hello friends of Castle Beach!
What is the cost of ABBA night?
Our annual ABBA night is hugely popular and we expect over 2000 people to attend this year on 3rd August. It costs me about £2500 to hold this event - the band, live music licence, temporary events licence, insurance and staffing. I hope to recoup some of these costs with sales from the café on the night, however with profit margins so low in hospitality these days, it is unlikely that we will make enough to cover the costs.
Why have I set up this Crowdfunder?
I like to keep it free so that anyone and everyone can attend, however there has been request from the public to set up this page so that people can 'donate' for their ticket. The suggested donation is £1 per person - still incredibly cheap for a music event! Or whatever you can afford, if you can afford it. If not, please attend anyway and enjoy the night!
How will I use the money?
Well firstly, my staff who work incredibly hard deserve to benefit, so I will give each of them a bonus (they don't get many tips as a 'takeaway' cafe). Secondly, I would like to save up for a second round of solar panels so that we can be completely off-grid with our electric.
