Thursday Rehearsals

Rehearsals are on Thursdays during term time only.
They start at 7.30 pm and finish at 9.30 pm.
There is a brief break. Members are advised to bring their own water.

Study Days

These are organised so that intensive work can be done when learning new pieces; then finer details become the focus as concerts approach.

Study Days generally start at 10.00 am.
They end at 3.30 pm or 4.00 pm.
Coffee and tea are provided free of charge.
There is a break of 45 to 60 minutes for lunch and most members bring sandwiches for convenience, and to make the event more sociable.
