Committee Members.  The retiring committee members this year are Angela Haward, John and Janet Dixon.  I would like to thank them for the help they have given over the past three years.  There will now be 4 vacancies on the Committee, 3 for 3years and 1 for 2 years, to be filled at the A.G.M. in March.  The committee meets 3 times a year and helps with the smooth running of the concerts.  The tasks are really not that onerous.  If you feel that you can help please talk to any committee members. 

A.G.M.  The A.G.M. will take place on 6^th March 2012, so please make a note in your diaries.  This will be followed by a recital. 

General Hall Practice Bookings  Please will members note that a maximum of three bookings for not more than 3 hours each will be accepted.  This is to give all members fair use of the Club facility.  

Lastly, enclosed is the Spring programme.  There are some really excellent programmes on offer and begin again on  Tuesday  10^th January.  Please come and support the performers.  I look forward to seeing you there. 

The Committee would like to wish you all a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Best wishes, 

Bob
