Wye Valley Music currently has 132 members, comprising 30 Silver Members (6 single and 12 joint memberships), 100 Standard Members (34 single and 33 joint memberships), and 2 Honorary Members. Membership fees and accompanying donations together bring in a total income of £3.430, representing a slight decrease compared with this time last year.
As always, we remain deeply grateful to you. Your loyal and continued support enables us to present the calibre of performers we do, from artists such as Clare Hammond, the Carducci String Quartet, Bojan Čičić, and the Katona Twins, to talented young musicians at the start of their professional journeys.
Your contributions also make possible the range of programmes we offer – from beloved classical works to lesser-known composers, from music that holds us in silent awe to pieces that make us want to tap our feet. And, finally, your support helps us manage the many administrative tasks that keep Wye Valley Music running smoothly – from maintaining our mailing list and website to handling accounts and logistics.
So, to all our members, past and present, thank you once again for your invaluable support.
The long-standing call for new volunteers has been heard once again! We are delighted to welcome one new member to the Committee, Bill Fulp, in absentia. At the same time, two long-serving members are stepping down: Martin Fenn-Smith and Michael Bradley. We are most grateful for their many years of dedicated and tireless commitment in various roles. The Committee continues to welcome interest from anyone who might wish to contribute their time and skills to help Wye Valley Music continue.
As your secretary, my role is to assist with any Wye Valley Music matters and to listen to your ideas and suggestions.
