"6. Every member of the Charity undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required (not exceeding £10) to the Charity’s assets if it should be wound up while he or she is a member or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member, for payment of the Charity’s debts and liabilities contracted before he or she ceases to be a member, and of the costs charges and expenses of winding up, and for the adjustment of the rights of the contributories among themselves." 

When you join as a Patron of If Opera (t/a Iford Arts), you are automatically opted into this liability (up to a maximum of £10) but can choose to opt out during the sign up process. Please note, if you choose to opt out of member's liability, you are no longer eligible to attend or vote at Annual General Meetings.

All levels of If Opera support and patronage comprise a benefits value detailing the actual cost of the benefits to the charity. These benefits can be purchased separately at this price. Any amounts given over and above this benefits value are given freely as a donation and are eligible for Gift Aid. All donations are non-refundable.

To discuss purchasing benefits separately please contact the If Opera team on 01225 868124.

The Advocates and Benefactors benefit value is £65. The Accompanists benefit value is £75. The Progress Syndicate benefit value is £120.
