Branch Secretary: Eileen Finlayson edinburgh@srp.org.uk
The Edinburgh Branch meets from September to June on Monday evenings, 7.30 p.m. to 9.30 p.m. in the Binks Hall, Greyfriars Charteris Centre, 138/140 The Pleasance, Edinburh EH8 9RR, and also occasionally for a special Saturday event sometimes at another venue, including a “Playing Day” with a visiting conductor from the national Society.
For the full programme of meetings see the Calendar. Visitors from other branches are welcome, and prospective new members can try us out for a few meetings before committing themselves to join. Please bring your instruments and a music stand.
The Branch’s joint Musical Directors are Anne Martin and Peter Wraith.
Music is normally provided for playing at meetings, and can only be borrowed if signed for in the book. Enquiries should be addressed to the Librarian.
One-to-a-part playing is also encouraged. One-to-a-part groups meet separately, usually in each others’ homes. They are invited to perform to the branch, family and friends at the Christmas Evening and Summer Evening concerts.
