Christmas Concerts 2015
Tickets for the Orchestra’s Christmas Concert programme at High Cross Church Camberley on the nights of Friday 11th and Saturday 12th December are now available to order from
Linda McNaughton by email to cywo_tickets@yahoo.co.uk or at Saturday morning rehearsals.
Ordered tickets and tickets for direct purchase will be available from Saturday 21st
November.
The Senior and Intermediate Sections of the Orchestra will be performing both nights, with the Christmas concert programme being the same each evening. The concerts will start at
7.30pm and conclude by 10.00pm.
There is no restriction on the number of tickets that can be purchased by families for this very popular event.
The concert ticket price is £8.50 and a free ticket is available for all Junior Section members.
The ticket price includes an interval mince pie and hot/cold drink.
We are also seeking parent volunteers to help with supervision, refreshments and raffle ticket sales at both concerts and, if you are available on either of these evenings, and are willing to help, please email the orchestra secretary, Sandra Kay on sandra.a.kay@btinternet.com. Thank you.
The donations of a raffle prize would also be appreciated to help with our fund-raising.
Please contact David or Kathy Pearson at dandkpearson@yahoo.co.uk if you have a prize to donate, or bring your donation to a Saturday morning rehearsal. Thank you.
Uniform
For those Orchestra members that moved up to our Senior or Intermediate Sections in
September, we would advise that over the next 2/3 Saturdays we will be checking for sizes so that the appropriate red or blue polo shirt can be available to you to wear at the
Christmas Concerts.
Christmas Coffee Morning - Saturday 12th December
We will be holding a ‘Christmas Coffee Morning’ for parents, grandparents and friends of our Junior Section members at Cordwalles School on the morning of Saturday 12th
December, commencing at 11.00am and finishing at 12.00noon, with coffee and a seasonal mince pie served.
The purpose of the morning is to give parents, grandparents and friends the opportunity to watch our Junior Section members in rehearsal, both in sectionals with their specialist instrument tutors and also as a group with their Musical Director.
This year we have a number of relatively inexperienced young musicians in our Junior
Section and we are sure that parents, grandparents and friends will be interested to see the progress our Junior Section has made during the short time that they have been rehearsing together in the Autumn term.
Rehearsals for Junior Section members on 12th December will start at the normal time of
9.30am.

Children in Need 2015
The Senior Section of the Orchestra will be performing at The Meadows Shopping Centre in
Camberley on Saturday 14th November between 10.00am and 12.00noon to raise funds in support of this years BBC Children in Need appeal..
If you are a parent of an Orchestra member and are available to help at some time during that morning by holding a collection tin, blowing up balloons, or making and serving a hot drink and biscuits to the Orchestra members during a break in their performance, then please get in touch with Sandra Kay via email to sandra.a.kay@btinternet.com. She will be delighted to hear from you.
Plans for the Orchestra’s tour to the Tuscany area of Italy are progressing well, with the flight arrangement, the tour hotel and 2 of the concert venues having already been confirmed.
An email regarding the flight arrangements was sent on 1st November to all contact addresses advised by those participating in the tour.
