THERE'LL BE A WELCOME ON THE MAT FOR SPONSORS OF AXMINSTER & DISTRICT CHORAL SOCIETY

Axminster & District Choral Society is one of the West of England's largest choirs at about 80 strong. It has earned a highly respected reputation for its twice yearly concerts of major classical works.

The Society is now in its twenty-first year, and will in 2007 perform Verdi's Requiem in April, followed by Beethoven's Mass in C and Haydn's St Nicholas Mass at Christmas. Sadly, this ambitious programme can only be sustained by continuous fund-raising efforts.

The Choir's problem is that the cost of hiring the orchestra, the solo singers and the Director has escalated in the last few years to the extent that performances are loss-making. Bearing in mind that the choir serves a community with a very high percentage of OAPs, the option to raise ticket prices is limited. Membership fees have been raised every two years, but members, too, are largely restricted in what they can afford.

This Choir, which is a valuable community asset to East Devon, urgently needs generous outside support if it is to continue.
