CD STALL

Tony Hudson has been in charge of the CD Stall since 2004. Thanks to his tireless hard work and enthusiasm, the sale of CDs donated (mainly) by club members has raised over £15,000 for the Club’s Piano Fund. The secret of this ongoing success remains two-fold: (1) the fantastic response to our appeals for CD donations and (2) our loyal band of enthusiastic purchasers for whom a visit to the CD Stall is an essential part of their evening.

From the beginning of our 76^th season of concerts, Alison and Julian Roberts will take over the running of the CD sales. We would like to personally thank Tony for handing over the administration of the Stall in such an efficient manner, which will hopefully translate into a seamless transition.

Most things in relation to the CD sales will remain the same. You will find the Stall on the ground floor in the Winter Gardens, at the right hand side of the stairs up to the balcony.

We are open from shortly after 7 pm before the concert and throughout the interval.

There is a wide range of high quality music in a variety of categories on offer – plenty of classics but also music by more modern and lesser known composers. We have many more CDs than we can display, so if there is a particular piece of music you are seeking, please ask and we will try to find it for you. Features such as ‘3 for 2’ and other offers will continue.

The main change from October 2022 onwards relates to paying for the CDs. Up till now we have only taken cash. While payment in cash can continue, we will be introducing a contactless card payment system, which will be our preferred method of payment.

The success of the Stall depends entirely on the generosity of both donors and ‘customers’ – so please keep the CDs coming in and please visit the stall on concert evenings. If you have CDs to donate, you can either give them to us at a concert, or please contact Alison and Julian Roberts on 01943600480, or (preferably) at jfratm2002@yahoo.co.uk
