Organisational skills? We need you! The Friend's Membership is £5.00 per annum. Orchestra members need not play an instrument! All you need is an interest in music. You could attend occasional rehearsals and help with the organisation and work of the orchestra as a non-playing member. In this way, you will make new friends, learn more about music appreciation, and support community music making.
