Call for new committee members

To Members and Friends,

Looking ahead with excitement to our 50th anniversary season commencing September 2025, in advance of this we are seeking to find some new committee members who will help secure the well being of our Society into the future. 

The Whitstable Music Society has acquired an outstanding reputation for the quality of our concerts  and not least with our invited musicians who on many occasions tell us how much they enjoy their  visits to our Music Society.

They frequently comment on how hospitable, friendly, receptive and  attentive you are as an audience, and they have a high regard for our venue with its wonderful acoustics, “perfect for chamber music” they often say. 
 
Curiously these concerts don’t actually organize themselves. Instead there is a small friendly committee who work behind the scenes to make all this happen. Fortunately the work is made to seem quite easy because our committee works well together which  really does make our task enjoyable and not at all like “work”. We tend to meet four times a year in  convivial surroundings. 

We are very happy to remain in our current roles though realize we need to continue to plan ahead  for the future wellbeing of the Society. With this in mind we are looking to strengthen our team with  a few more people who would be willing to contribute alongside us, ensuring that we always  have the resources to sustain the activities and reputation of the Society into the future. 

The key activities we currently manage are: 

1. Membership and Marketing 
2. Media and publicity 
3. Finance 
4. Concert Planning (Artists and Programmes) 
5. Concert Management (on the days of the concerts) 
6. Sponsorship 

So if you think you would be interested in helping the good work of our Society either as part of our committee or perhaps in a more informal way then please contact me for an informal chat. 

With all best wishes 

John Walker.
