When we decided to rename Kegworth Museum to Kegworth Heritage Centre we also decided to rethink the traditional membership system associated with the museum. Under the old system, members got free entrance to the museum and printed copies of Cogwords. They could also come to the annual general meeting and extraordinrary general meetings and vote on matters arising at those meetings. However, entrance to the museum has been free for some time, we currently don't have the resources to publish Cogwords, and our new organisational structure as a Charitable Incorprated Organisation (CIO - currently being set up) means that trustees are the only formal members of the CIO and only they are allowed to vote.
We have created a new set of incentives for people who choose to become FoFHC, which should be considered more as a loyalty scheme than a membership scheme.
These new incentives will entitle Friends to:
We will also be working with other local groups to try and provide additional perks.
Costs
Individual Annual: £10.00 per year
Family Annual: £18.00 per year (2 adults & 2 children under 18 at the same address)
Individual Life: £90.00
Family Life: £125.00 (2 adults & 2 children under 18 at the same address)
All proceeds will be used for the continued upkeep and improvement of the Heritage Centre. This will also help us to encourage other investors to help fund the centre.
We are currently in the process of setting up the mechanisms for joining, primarily through this website, but we recognise that not everyone has access to the internet and alternatives will be available. Payment will also be available through a number of options.
Watch out for updates on this website, on our Facebook page and the Kegworth Remembered Facebook page, and notices around the village.
We hope you will be tempted to join as soon as everything is in place. In the meantime, if you would like to register your interest, please click here.
