We started with a few on a minibus and grew to two 53 seater coaches. The Halle has now\u00a0changed our day to a matinee but there are still 57 going on a\u00a0special stretched bus for us. The concerts are what were the\u00a0old Industrial Concerts performed at the Free Trade Hall.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Halle has for some years been in their own orchestral designed\u00a0Bridgewater Hall and here we go to nine concerts per year, nothing\u00a0too highbrow but some new pieces to stretch our interest. All the\u00a0season tickets for next year \u2013 September\/May are taken but we\u00a0have a book in which are listed names and numbers of persons\u00a0who can take up a spare ticket when these come up. There are\u00a0already quite a number in the book, some from the village, but if\u00a0you want to be included just give Dorothy a ring (276385) and you can add\u00a0your name to the list. The cost per seat varies on where you sit but\u00a0ranges from \u00a312 to \u00a320 plus \u00a35 for your return coach fare.<\/p>\n<p>All the concerts are on a Wednesday afternoon. The coach comes\u00a0from Biddulph and picks up at various places en route, finishing\u00a0in the village at about 12.50 pm. We return from Manchester at\u00a0approx. 4.30 pm. I have programme leaflets if you are interested\u00a0and call in for one. Each year I think this maybe my last year to\u00a0organise this \u2013 but it keeps going as long as I do.<\/p>\n<p>Dorothy Waite<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dorothy has been organising group visits to Halle concerts in\u00a0Manchester since the 1970s.
