Ely Friends

Ely, C3

Ely Friends is for anyone who’s ever spent a night in on their own wishing they were out doing something more exciting, or for those who’ve sat in the pub looking at the group of friends, wishing they could join them.

We bring together people from the local area to make friends and have fun. We’ve regular events, including pub quizzes, board game nights, pub nights, breakfasts and trips to Boogie Nights in St Ives. In between there are cinema trips, meals out, book talks and walks.

We’re welcoming and friendly, and open to all ages. Male or female, single or married. If this sounds at all tempting please sign up - it’s free.

We simply expect:
1. A recent, clear photo (so event hosts can spot and welcome you)
2. Up to date RSVP’s (waiting for no-shows ruins an event for everyone else)
3. Understanding that hosts are volunteers (trust their experience, don't argue self motivated changes)
4. You pay your own way (we don’t charge for events, but don't leave unpaid drink/food tabs)
5. You make your own way (fine to ask members for lifts, but don't expect or demand)
6. No private messaging before you've met at an event (we’re not a dating site!)

We hope to see you soon!

Optionally, once you've been to a few events (i.e. you've met an event organiser or two and have a good feel for how the group works) please do consider:
- Suggesting events on our discussion boards to determine interest (it can't clash with an existing event or financially benefit yourself - charities are fine)
- Hosting an event (mention in your suggestion you'd be happy to do this) which we can help you with
- Becoming an event organiser (once you've hosted several events)

Open topic format, so feel free to suggest something you’ve been pondering. We’ll choose one randomly on the day. Example topics: Should we fear chaos? Can anyone really know you? The natural - why covert it? Would we be happy if we lived forever? What’s the point?

Cambridge Chamber Music with New Horizons String Orchestra

Cambridge, C3

This is a musical playing experience for anyone interested in playing music with Eclectic Concert programs and a wide ranging repertoire from Baroque through Classical , Romantic and through to the present day. From collaborative small groups to our Ensemble and the New Horizons String Orchestra we have projects that give a New and exciting creative drive to String playing. Projects from Solo Recitals, duets, trios, Quartets and through too our main Ensemble and beyond , come and explore what it is like to play without a conductor or a committee but freely and creatively becoming the musician you wish to be. For example -- Leader ?, Soloist etc -- there is no barrier to progress , just the general acceptance that you can perform to an audience that will fully appreciate what you play ! In All our Concerts we have soloists from within the group and occasionally in addition a guest soloist. Non are paid and all members contribute to the costs of the Hall ( which has an excellent acoustic). Part of our Sessions are about making great collaborative projects happen but also about building Performances that make Audiences of All ages happy. CCM does at least 5-6 Concerts in a year and 2 or 3 Recitals. There is a great social atmosphere and time given to a communicative freedom. Time to talk and discuss with fellow musicians about building the Performing experience. we consider that those musicians who have exceeded grade 8 ABRSM or have equivalent equivalent musical experience, will benefit most from our various groups and Performances. However there are many who wish to rebuild their playing expertise and regain creativity in their life. Or those who are experienced enough to immerse themselves in our much wider string playing repertoire. Currently we are particularly looking for new members for our New Horizons String Orchestra, and are looking at Joiners coming to 1 complete session during the period middle of September -- until 1st Weeks of October. As well as violinists, violas and cellists and Bass Players we will require at least 2 Lead violinists -- as our programs are so diverse that this is best for the leader and for our Ensemble or String Orchestra. . Applications can be made through Meetup. com or perhaps better initially by contacting the Manager of CCM - Michael by Text message on-- 0756 441 8260. or email Michael.AG.CCM@gmail.com for details of our audition by playing in a session but also to chat about anything you wish to know.
