Farewell to long time orchestra member
At our recent rehearsal we bid fond farewell to long standing orchestra member, Trevor Pleass.
Trevor has been a regular member of the orchestra violin section for many years, and was formerly the treasurer.
At age 94, he has decided to step down.
Our youngest members presented him with some gifts as an appreciation of his long service to the orchestra. We wish him well for the future, and hope to see him in the audience at some of our future concerts.
