"Why do we fundraise?"

Each year when the committee sets the club budget and membership fees, we have in mind a certain target we like to keep the fees close to (allowing us to remain competitive with the other netball clubs).

To prevent either having to set the fees above this target or having to decrease the service level the club will deliver, fundraising comes into play to cover the income shortfall.
