International activities: Ron Delve, Steve Reed - Holiday discount available for ECO members and friends - two former orchestra families have converted an Andalucian farming complex into splendid holiday cottages with a pool. They are offering a generous 15% discount on their normal booking prices to ECO members and friends who make a donation to the orchestra. Their website has full details of the accommodation available and looks very tempting indeed. If you are interested in making a booking, pick up the flier available at weekly rehearsals, which has the details of how to claim your discount. "Terms and conditions apply". Many thanks to John, Carol, Terry and Stephanie for thinking of supporting the orchestra in this way!
- We always need help - especially around concert time! Contact any member of the committee or email us.
