Directors: Marion Panzetta and Madeline Seviour

The branch has around 25 members. In addition to our regular meetings, we have a visiting conductor each year, we organise a Day Course most years, and this summer we had our regular visit to Ingatestone Hall to play while visitors were looking round the house and grounds (see photo above).

Visitors are welcome to our meetings – there is a charge of £3. Bring recorders and a music stand. For more information, contact the secretary Caroline Saul 01371 873211 or
