Soiree and AGM

Dear Patrons, Friends and others,

Our annual Soiree and AGM will take place on Sunday January 22nd 2023 in the small hall at Wellington School. As usual the business meeting will be fairly brief, and there will be music and refreshments to ertertain you. I am sending this to all on our contacts list, in the hope that those who are not already Patrons or Friends may be tempted to come with a cheque book and join this select band. I have to say that recent audience numbers have been rather disappointing, such that each concert makes a significant financial deficit. We have been fortunate in having some generous donors, but we canot survive like this for much longer, so something must change, or the orchestra will have to fold, which I think would be a sad day for Taunton. Currently Patrons pay £100 per annum, which includes entry to all concerts, and Friends £30 which gives a £3 discount per ticket.

We look forward to seeing you on January 22nd. RSVP so that we know how many we need to cater for.

A Happy New Year to you all,

Robin Carpenter, Chairman
