Putting on major classical concerts requires both tremendous effort and funding. All members are encouraged to get involved in the running of the society. Here are some of the ways in which you can help:
- Distribute and display concert posters
- Sell tickets
- Offer to run one of the weekly raffles
- Sign up for the coffee rota
- Offer to organise a social or fundraising event
- Encourage your family and friends to help serve drinks and sell programmes at concerts
- Put yourself forward as a Trustee
- Encourage your singing friends to join the choir
If you’d like to know more about how you can help then please speak to the Chairman or Secretary in the first instance. We welcome input from all members.
