SRPW Summer Playing Weekend, Saturday July 7th and Sunday July 8th,2018 at Paradise Farmhouse, Presteigne, LD8 2NH
This Summer Playing Weekend will be held as usual at Paradise Farmhouse, Presteigne. The course will consist of two full playing days, split between the full ensemble of 21 players and one-to-a-part groups, tutored again, to our great delight, by Helen Hooker.
Accommodation at Paradise Farmhouse consists of five twin-bedded rooms in spacious self-catering units and space for up to six people to camp in tent or camper van, (the price for camping includes use of facilities) so your cheapest residential option is to camp or to come with a chum and share a room. Prices for accommodation are the same as last year, but it will be fully self catered in your own cottages and the communal kitchen and dining room, which guests will be expected to leave clean and tidy after use.
We'll have a bring and share supper on the Friday evening, and enjoy some playing afterwards. You can order a light lunch courtesy of Lorna's Sandwich Shop if you wish, and I will be booking tables for an optional meal on Saturday evening, somewhere with a good choice of a la carte menu so you don't have to choose beforehand.
If Paradise Farmhouse is over-subscribed, there are B&B establishments in the area and we can help you to find a suitable one. If you live locally, please feel free to book tuition only.
On the attached booking form you will see the various options and prices. Please do not send any money for the dinner - settle that at the time – but to secure your place on the course we do need a cheque as explained below.
Each day’s playing will start with optional warm-up (recorder!) exercises at 9.30am ready for a prompt start at 10am, and playing will end at around 4.30pm – 5pm both days.
We do ask that participants should be confident sight readers and proficient with descant, treble, tenor and bass recorders.
