Guidance Notes for Members
Library
Please ensure that all loaned music manuscripts are treated with care and returned immediately at the end of each concert. If you have music but are unable to attend the concert, you must return it beforehand to the librarians who can be contacted at info@horsforthchoralsociety.co.uk. If your music comes back late you may be charged a fee, as the choir is charged extra for copies returned late to the Music Loan service.

Become a Friend of Horsforth Choral Society
What the Friends of HCS do
The Society, which is a registered charity, depends on the support of
the Friends to be able to continue rehearsing, hiring music, giving concerts
and enriching the musical life of the community. For example, it costs £60 to
hire the room for 1 rehearsal, at least £200 to have a professional soloist at
a concert and hiring music costs over £300 per concert.
Benefits of being a Friend
·
Two free tickets to the Autumn and Spring Concerts
(worth up to £32)
·
Letters informing Friends of concert dates and
society news
·
Friends’ names are printed (optional) in our Spring
and Autumn concert programmes to record the Society’s gratitude for their
support
What is involved
The minimum donation is £25 each year. Gift Aid is possible if you are a
taxpayer and increases the value of your donation, but rules for Gift Aid mean
that no tickets may be made available to Friends choosing to Gift-Aid their donations.
Your help is needed, please
Please consider becoming a Friend yourself and ask your family members,
friends and work colleagues and business contacts if they would consider
supporting Horsforth Choral Society. Further information and extra copies of
this sheet and the form attached are available from the Friends’ Secretary or they
can be downloaded from here:
Other options
·
A one-off donation (£10 is the minimum
contribution); such donations are eligible for Gift Aid.
·
Sponsoring an item or part of an item of
expenditure.
Donations and Sponsorship are normally acknowledged in our concert
programme.
