28. Trust Account • $500 deposit will be paid in on Friday 11th April • From May 2008 to March 2009 you will need to make a $700 payment on the 20th of each month. • The balance would then need to be paid April 20th 2009. This amount will depend on the amount of group fundraising achieved and exchange rates. • Any excess money will be reimbursed at the end of the trip.

29. Wine Sales Sileni Estate and Redmetal Vineyards Raffle Sausage Sizzles Car wash Any money raised from individual fundraising is put towards your monthly payments Individual Fundraising Ideas for 2009

30. Student Involvement • Start saving! We expect students to take some ownership of the tour. They need to be contributing towards their costs. Try and save between $50 and $100 per week. • Take part in the fundraising. The more you raise the less you have to pay. • From our experience those students who have made some financial contribution towards the tour get much more out of the trip.

31. Group Fundraising and Sponsorship We hope to raise at least $30 000 through: • Quiz night • Wine tasting and auction • Applications to trusts • Sponsorship of specific items (e.g. shirts, insurance, etc.) • Your ideas

32. Fundraising and sponsorship for 2007 Study Tour • Please speak to Edwin West, Andrew Savage or Guy Mance if you have any contacts that could help with sponsorship.
