Thank you St Francis Church and Fr Anthony

Posted on December 18, 2015 by rogerpinnock

The musicians of Ashford Sinfonia would like to thank Father Anthony and the Church of St. Francis for providing us with a home, when we so precipitously lost ours last year. It really was heaven sent, and very kind. Thank you!

A new home

St Mary the Virgin

The church of St Mary the Virgin

We have now finalised agreement to move our Monday evening meetings, and possibly our concerts, to the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Church Road, Willesborough. The team there were very welcoming, and the church has undergone extensive refurbishment during the early summer to turn it into a beautiful community facility – underfloor heating and variable lighting will be a delight! There is parking nearby, though we will need to use a keypad to gain access.

We have some money accumulated over the last years, so we propose to increase the termly fee to £35 to pay for use of the church. It may be that that will increase in time, but we will do our best to keep costs down, and may explore other funding avenues.

Turn up on January 11th, perhaps a little earlier than usual. Annette and Roger will be meeting Libby from the Parish team at 7.00 p.m. to learn how we get in etc.!

An interesting letter came my way while attending course at Benslow – string players may be interested, and I gather the organiser would like some more cellists to sign up!

Missing our Maestro!

Posted on September 21, 2015 by rogerpinnock

Thanks to everyone for making this evening useful! Our best wishes go to Shauna, hoping for a speedy recovery. Wes sent me through this YouTube link, which is the arrangement of Frozen we are using, and the one we listened to this evening.

Hopefully  anyone who wants to can download it – I certainly found it helpful, though need to play along with it several times more!

A welcome too to the two newcomers this evening!
