Do you play an instrument? Would you like to play in an orchestra? Come and be inspired and have some fun with West Dorset Community Orchestra.

The orchestra meets every Wednesday during term time with a new term starting on Wednesday, September 20 and is welcoming new members of all ages.

The rehearsals take place in the Christian Fellowship Hal in the East Street car park, Bridport, from 6.30pm to 7.45pm. The orchestra performs two concerts a year – one at Christmas and another in the summer.

The group is delighted to welcome a guest conductor for the autumn term and its popular Christmas concert.

They play a programme of varied music for each concert which are performed at St John's Church in West Bay.

The first half of term is free for new members as trial sessions. For further information see www.westdorsetmusic.org.uk or contact Pat Crawford on 01308 456297.
