Aside from arranging programmes and concerts, the committee does a great deal of work behind the scenes, promoting the orchestra, ensuring we meet our objective of promoting classical music in the community, and generally keeping everything running smoothly.
We also have to keep up with the regulations on charities, which involves a certain amount of policy and procedure documentation to help us meet our responsibilities. You can find these on our documents and forms page.
