I must admit this would be better for me (and I think it would fit in OK with KJ's event in Feb and Barry's in late Mar/Apr ) but if other people would prefer January, I'll still try and come but it's just more difficult to commit

I can tell you now, sadly, that if you pick the first weekend of March, I definitely won't be able to come.
Could do the following weekend.



With Ascot in late March, Farnborough will probably be in mid-April.

I think the SRP National Festival is being held in Kent next year, and that it will be on a Saturday in April - quite a few of us in the Greater London area would probably be wanting to go to that, as it's being held near to home for a change! I've looked at the website but they don't seem to have put the info up yet. I'll contact someone who is bound to know, and post back when I've found out.

That'll be useful, as I don't want to clash with that. I've written a letter to the buildings co-ordinator of the venue deviless and I have in mind, with two proposed dates in mind, I'll hold off finalising the letter until I know what date the national festival is.

The SRP Festival will be on Saturday 19th April 2008 (going on to 20th, but that's the conference day, so only the officials tend to stay for that!) in Tonbridge, Kent.

Think I can say now, the 19th was my first choice for Farnborough.

However, I have a plan B......

With the highly successful Leeds concert behind us, I think it's time to mention the next two events, first, there's another of the very successful Market Harborough playdays coming up very soon, on Sunday 8th July, that is followed by sbhoa's Stalybridge Adult Learner's concert on July 28th.

Click on the links in the first post for further details.....

Could you add a possible flute choir day in August 2007 to the list please, barry-clari?

OK. Do you have any particular date in mind?

I'm going to be checking availability of the hall I have in mind. The event will definitely be in the second half of August, avoiding Market Harborough on 25th.

Cool.

Andante's taster session is now on the calendar as a proposed event.

The closing date for Stalybridge is fast approaching (28/6) and the current numbers attending are very much on the low side.

So I shall say what I said on the main thread - please please please, if you are around, come and support this event, you will be made most welcome.

Link to the Stalybridge adult learners' concert thread here.

With the highly successful Stalybridge event now behind us, looking at August, we have 2 dates to bear in mind, Andante's flute day in Hampshire on the 23rd, and the closing date for the Woodford concert the day before (the concert itself is the 22nd September).

I've made a few alterations to the calendar, notably adding the next Harborough playday, and updating the instrumental taster day details.

After the next Harborough, I'll ask the moderators to unpin this calendar, and replace it with the 2008 version.

With the last playday of the year behind us, that's it for 2007.

A big thank you to everyone involved with the events, organising/playing etc.

2008's shaping up to be very exciting, so if you haven't come to an event yet, do think about making 2008 the first year you come along to one. You won't regret it.

Thanks for keeping the calendar updated Barry, not to mention organising all the music for so many events!
