MAS  NEWSLETTER  MARCH  1994

 

 

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome Stephen and Katharine who have joined us over the last three months.  If you have not already spoken to them no doubt they will introduce themselves to you in due course.

 

Although the first couple of months in the year are traditionally quiet we have noticed an upturn in bookings this year compared to last.  Lets hope this trend continues.

 

Just a reminder that if you have an instrument you wish to buy or sell, or a chamber concert/recital you'd like to advertise, our Bulletin Board is available to you.  The advert will appear in the issue following your request unless you state otherwise.
