Autumn 2008

New schedule up to and including December 14th now in 'downloads'

Please encourage your friends and relations to become a 'Friend' of Haddo. Send them one of our leaflets or ask them to request one by emailing their address to secretary@haddochoral.org.uk or calling 01651 851111. This is a vitally important way to support the Choral Society (including the Junior sections). For an annual subscription they could get a range of benefits ranging from two annual newsletters to priority ticket order forms and reserved seating, especially useful for our 'sell out' events such as the Carol Concerts. Choose from three different levels: 'Sonata,' 'Concerto' or 'Symphony'.

HHCOS members are reminded that parking is only permitted in the main car park. Absolutely no parking is allowed behind the hall, or outside the Peatyards.

Disabled badge holders can park behind the hall, but please leave at least a whole car width outside the back door for fire engine access.

Please note that the logo at the top of the website pages is not the letterhead for the Society. The proper letterheads can be found in the downloads section.

Two letterheads are now available for download, a greyscale one for a letter which you will photocopy and a colour one for colour printing only.

We are delighted to announce that HRH the Earl of Wessex has agreed to be patron of our society. We look forward to forging close ties with him in the future.

Dr. Neil Mackie CBE and Patricia MacMahon have kindly agreed to become patrons of the Society. This is wonderful news as they have offered to help raise our profile and put on fund raising concerts, workshops and master classes.

Discussions are ongoing with the National Trust for Scotland and other users (HUG) concerning present practical arrangements and future strategic use of the facilities at Haddo, which are owned and run by the NTS.

Costumes have mostly been transferred to safe storage on the Schivas Estate. Alice has keys to the the Peatyards and the office.

All Choral Society bookings of facilities at Haddo can now only be made through Susan Burgess (HHCOS HUG rep).
