Dear Gabriel
I am pleased to advise you that during a full meeting of Council held recently your
application for membership of the Guild was granted at the level of FELLOW. Many
congratulations!
We would very much like to welcome you to our next meeting to have your certificate
formally presented. Our next London meeting is on Saturday 17 October 2015 at 2pm at
Allhallows-by-the-Tower, quite close to the Tower of London (the nearest tube station is
Tower Hill). There will be a brief rehearsal of the very straightforward ceremonial at 1.30
and it would be very helpful for us all if you could kindly arrange to be there by then.
Notice and full details of the meeting will be arriving in the form of our next newsletter, due
to be printed very soon and also to be found on our website
www.musiciansandsingers.org.uk.
If you are unable to be present, do please let me know – even on my mobile at the last
minute if your plans change. We really do want to meet our new members on these
occasions; our Guild is a friendly and sociable organisation and, of course, you are warmly
invited to bring plenty of guests.
If you have any enquiries about anything connected with the Guild, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
Yours sincerely
Dr Michael Walsh
Acting Secretary-General
