Abstract

During his life time Brendon was a member of the Tetherdown Theatre Club, which was a non-charitable unincorporated association. Membership fees were used for various purposes, including for rental of a local theatre space. In the summer of 2004, the club organised a workshop for local children and in order to raise money for the workshop, the club sold 50 tickets to a performance that was scheduled to take placed in the final week of the three week theatre workshop. The tickets were sold for £5.00 each. The children attending the workshops also collected money for the performance by putting on street performances and asking for donations from passers by. A total of £200 was raised by this method. Brendon donated £500 to the club by a cheque he sent to club treasurer Liz, accompanied by the letter stating that the money was for the final performance at the end of the children's theatre workshop.
