Annual General Meeting
At the AGM on 6th March the existing officials were
re-elected. Diane Scott-McGrath was appointed Orchestra Manager.
Membership subscription rates would remain the same for
year 2003 as for this year.
Membership Renewal
Almost all of our members have paid their 2002
subscription. If you haven’t paid, please do so as soon as possible. Cash or cheque
(made payable to CoSMOS) to Heather Peel.
Playing members who have not paid will be charged £1.00
per week as from now until the full amount is received.
Staging
Thanks to the Usworth School for donating, on long term
semi-permanent loan, some staging. This will enable the musicians sitting at the back of
the concert platform in the Church to be elevated in relation to the players sitting
nearer the front. This has saved the Society a considerable sum of money!
Next Concert
SATURDAY 27TH APRIL We need to sell 400 tickets to
break even, since there is no sponsorship for this event. All members and friends are
urged to sell as many tickets as possible and to bring as many relatives and friends as
they can! |
The Web-Site!
The society web-site is now active, although not yet
complete - visit it at
www.cosmossunderland.co.uk.
Thanks to Timothy Smith of Leicester for designing and
organising the site from information supplied by the Chairman.
Future Concerts
Rival Arts of Newcastle have agreed to promote the concerts
at Durham in June and at Corbridge in August. It is anticipated that 3500 tickets will be
sold for each of these ‘Musical Extravaganzas’.
Doors (gates) open at 7.OOpm, and the programme starts with
supporting musical groups; the highlight of the evening will be the Sunderland Symphony
Orchestra. A 15 minute fireworks display will conclude the event!
‘Awards for All’
The timpani have been purchased, the computer system
installed, the Notice Board is in position outside West Park Church and the Web-site is
active.
