There is now an  online form here which can be used by Friends to subscribe which should make it easier to continue your invaluable support.

Chandos Symphony Data Protection Policy

It is necessary, because of changes in the law, for the orchestra to have member’s of Friends permission to hold personal data.  Personal data is essentially anything from which you may be able to be identified.  Failure to comply with the law risks the orchestra incurring a swingeing penalty. There are several downloadable forms which we urge you to complete and return (via post or hand delivered).

Did you know that you could be a real friend to the orchestra?

The Friends scheme has also taken a bit of a battering with our wonderful supporter Chris Balch stepping down from running the scheme in the midsts of everything else around us in the last couple of years being closed down or up in the air, so please forgive us this last year or so for tardy communications and a slight lack of input from us in the forms of newsletters as we gather ourselves back up again and get the scheme back up and running as it should be!

With this in mind, if any friends feel that they would like to be more involved in the scheme, we would love to have a ‘friend or two’ come aboard to help steer the scheme, hand out programmes at concerts, as little or as much as you can offer in the form of time is useful to us, and all help is willingly accepted by the orchestras committee, who are only a small team!

If you can offer us any support in the form of your time and help, please let us know at frnds@chandos.org.uk
