General Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month at 2.30pm at the Old Barn Hall, Bookham when there is a speaker, a small amount of business and a chance to chat with fellow members over a cup of tea.

Our next meeting in the Old Barn Hall will be on Tuesday 13th of January when Adrian and Jane Smith give their talk "A Musicians Life".

As musicians Adrian and Jane Smith have worked in most concert halls, Cathedrals, Arenas, stately homes and recording studios in the country. They have travelled widely with orchestras and pop groups, and have encountered many famous people on the way. They have worked alongside people from Shirley Bassey, Rod Stewart, Yehudi Menuhin, Andre Bocelli, Jason Donovan, Neil Diamond, Lesley Garrett, Elaine Paige and Nigel Kennedy...to name but a few. They have appeared in feature films and television programmes such as Downton Abbey and Mission Impossible. Over the years they have accumulated a wealth of amusing, and sometimes surprising stories which they can tell from first hand experience. They bring their instruments with them and intersperse their anecdotes with relevant music.
