• Orchestra not contacted yet, as we are waiting until we have some dates from the soloists, however we will contact the local musicians to gauge interest

• Last meeting we agreed that we need a sub-committee to run this concert and any other concert. This was not actioned so needs to be discussed next meeting

General

Richard feels we need to try and establish more contact with the community and raise awareness and involvement.

Perhaps try and encourage some younger members. How do we action this?
