At last evening’s rehearsal we had a short discussion about our plans for the near future. We have three possible venues for rehearsal – two are quite expensive options and the third has difficulty with access, in that instruments would have to be carried for 300 0r 400 yards from the nearest car park (fine for a piccolo, but not so much fun for a double bass!) It was agreed that we would go on looking.

We also discussed the venue for the concert in three weeks’ time, and agreed to stay at St Francis. There have been some further comments on this since; your committee may bring the subject up again next week.

Finally, we made a plea for a new Librarian to come forth. John has done sterling work, and we thank him for this, but can no longer cope with carting the heavy box of music around. We agreed to make a decision on this in two weeks – the new incumbent to take over once this term’s music has been safely returned!
