Rehearsals
Haslemere Hall on Mondays at 7.30 p.m. till about 10 p.m. for both choir and orchestra.
We have a tea/coffee break about half way through so that we can socialise.
There is normally a rehearsal during the afternoon before each concert.
Occasionally the choir rehearses in the Methodist church in Weyhill.
The orchestra sometimes rehearses in St Christopher's Church, Weyhill.
See below for details.

Subscriptions
£90 for 2011-12 season (Students half price).
payable at the first rehearsal of the season (first Monday in September).
Gift Aid:
As a result of changes in HMRC guidance on
membership subscriptions it has been necessary for
HMS to examine our rehearsal procedures to see if
they include an element of tuition. We have
concluded that this is the case for the choir, but
not for the orchestra, and we have, as a result,
divided the annual charge to choir members of £90
into a subscription of £79 and a tuition charge of
£11.
For those members who have made Gift Aid
declarations this means that HMS will be claiming
back tax on £79 and not the full £90, and members
who themselves reclaim higher rate tax should do the
same.
