The Yorkshire Late Starters String Orchestra is holding a residential weekend the 25th - 27th May 2007 and there are still places left for upper strings (sorry, cellists - all places are taken - but there is a waiting list!). If you are interested, please visit the link on the YLSS web site.

That looks quite interesting...

This looks great! Just wish I could a) have time at the w/e and the money to go!! Still, one day, you never know!

I'd love to go to something like this with my violin - it reminds me of all the orchestra camps/tours I did when I played the clarinet and they were great fun.

But I can't get away very much - I have seven dogs and no-one brave enough to dog-sit apart from my husband

I have applied...

Admin!!!

I now find that, having been given the impression that I had a place, I am on the waiting list

I am not happy - especially as I have already bought my rail tickets...

W

Have finally managed to get a place - as long as I play violin, rather than viola... (Who said there was a shortage of viola players?)

At least that's something to look forward to...

Are any other forum members going? cellophile..?

W

It certainly is a turvey topsy world!

I hope you have a great time. Looking forward to hearing how it goes.

Thanks - I'm getting quite excited now...

W

Hope you have a fab time

The weekend was great - and in really fab surroundings. Everyone was really friendly - even though I didn't know anyone and they ALL knew each other...

Having spent a whole weekend playing violin, I now find that I can't play viola at all - and the Leeds concert is on Saturday!
