Summers Gone

It was great to see so many of you music makers and shakers at the annual conference in Leeds. There was a great choice of workshops to choose from and some very interesting speakers. Do let me know if you'd like further information if you were unable to attend.

Following on from the conference I'm back in Leicester after a few sneaky days in Belgium last week. A cycle trip that included Brugges, Antwerp, Leuven, ScherpenHeuvel and Ieper. Wonderful but sad to detect that chill in the breeze that suggests summer now needs to be packed away until next May.

This week I'm based at home organising meetings for the coming weeks. The finishing touches are being put to the new East Midlands Making Music website and I'm in the throws of organising a couple of regional events which include a training session about sponsorship for music groups, fundraising for your arts project and a get together in Lincoln in October.

I've been contacted by a member group from the Rutland area and we're planning to bring together members in the area to inform you about what Making Music can do for you in the region. More info. to follow.

The above and thinking about the plans for 2010! eeek where did 2009 go? It's not over yet!!
