Do you have additional revenue streams to help with your costs?
Raffle - Raffle prize costs can be minimal and people soon donate prizes.
Music sales - Lots of people have unwanted sheet music books, ask for donations to the club which can then be sold to anyone interested. This can be extended to music DVDs and CDs.
Lucky squares - see raffle above but possibly keep this as a twice a year thing at most and sell squares over two or three months. This can be drawn as an added attraction in one of the less well attended events.
If you are not particularly interested in running a raffle for club funds, run it for a charity then at the end of the year you have the opportunity to get a cheque presentation picture in the paper.
