The
Committee benefited greatly from the support and encouragement of the
late Lady Bliss, our first President, and
then from the late George Dannatt. For
the Chairman's tribute to him, and links to press obituaries, click
here. Our Vice-Chairman, David Wilby, has written an appreciation
for MusicWeb: click
here. Frank Crownshaw, our Treasurer since the foundation of the Society, has just retired, and is succeeded in that role by Helen Wilby. Frank has managed our accounts with great care and prudence, and has our thanks and good wishes for his retirement, although of course he remains with us as an active member of the Society. A substantial Newsletter is published twice
a year, in the Spring and Autumn, and the latest has just been sent
to members. A separate cumulative Index to the first twelve issues is
currently available and a copy was sent out with the previous Newsletter.
Non-members wishing to buy copies of the Newsletter or the Index please
contact the Chairman. Our Performances page is accessed by lovers of Sir Arthur's music worldwide, and we are as keen to include notices of performances abroad as we are in the UK. We know that far more performances take place in other countries than we show on our Performances page and we look to our site visitors for information. We have no other regular means of knowing about concerts before they take place. The Enquiries page gives the opportunity to site visitors, whether members of the Society or not, to contribute questions or comments. We devote a page to the Charlton Kings Choral Society because of its close links with the late Lady Bliss, initially through our Chairman. Six of our seven Committee members belong to the choir, and the seventh, John Wright, is its Conductor. The
Links page joins us to other interesting and relevant
websites : please suggest any useful additions. Please also let us know of forthcoming
performances of Bliss music so that we can publicise them here. Click
