TAKE NOTE! -
September 2010 |
Thank you all very much for your help in making our concert, held jointly with the Stuttgart Recorder Orchestra and pOLyPhoNiCA Recorder Trio on 5th June 2010 at St Luke's, Hoylake a great success. Thank you to all who took part and who helped in any way - particularly those who donated raffle prizes! Any
successful concert relies on the availability of its members to turn
up regularly for practices. We only meet once a month so it shouldn’t
be too difficult to organise your lives to keep that one afternoon
free. I do thank the members who are thoughtful enough to let us know
in advance when they are unable to attend. |
NEW MEMBERS: |
As we have had many new
members in recent months I thought it a good opportunity to repeat
information. |

SALES TABLE: |
As
we try to keep subscriptions for the year as low as possible, the
monthly sales table does help with finances so please do support
it. Thank you to Pam Toft for keeping it going. I’m sure she would welcome help on the day, but also do please try to support this each month either by bringing items for sale or by buying. As mentioned above, this fund raising does help to keep subscription costs down.. Re: subscriptions - the fee is £12 for the year, payable in September 2010. |
REFRESHMENTS: |
You may have noticed that our tea ladies belong to the Church and are not members of the Orchestra.
We are extremely grateful for them serving us refreshments each month. We would be lost without their help! There is a dish on the table when you collect your tea. We each put in 20 pence to help pay for the tea and biscuits. |
MUSIC: |
A constant moan! Please try to return music at the rehearsal immediately following a concert. If you know you are not going to be at that rehearsal then make sure you leave it with me (or any member) straight after the concert. It is most annoying to have odd scraps of music being returned when everything has already been put away in a folder and filed. An amnesty for all old music will be held during the September and October rehearsals. I promise not to look askance when music is returned! When music is given out please check that you do not have a copy with a red dot in the top right hand corner. This is my master copy! |
