Newent Orchestral
Society Christmas Concert, "best ever". The orchestra is going from strength to strength. Playing to a capacity audience the December Christmas Concert, with guests The Newent Scottish was a great success, with orchestra, choir and audience together creating a memorable atmosphere. Thanks go to all involved. Promotion Work The Newent Onion Fayre is always a worthwhile occasion for the orchestra. We are able to chat to potential members and audience about our work and repertoire - and add some music to the holiday atmosphere. Here are a couple of nice pics from this year's event.

The Orchestra Is Home New venue provides much needed extra space After a successful trial rehearsal at the Newent Centre on Ross Road, the orchestra has moved its regular rehearsal venue to the Centre. The move has been precipitated by the need to find a larger venue as the orchestra has expanded considerably over the last few years. Orchestra leader, Bill Anderton, said that, "It feels like the orchestra has come home, with a base close to the town centre. The move should attract even more new members and help to promote the fact that Newent has an orchestra to be proud of." The community centre's new management is led by the Newent Initiative, whose chairman, Roger Beard, explained that, "Ross Road Community Centre is extremely important for community cohesion in Newent... The User Group will only be prepared to move forward if we can work towards a new building in Newent, so we are delighted that the GCC has promised 50 per cent of the sale proceeds of the current site together with identified other monies towards funding a new centre."
