Enrolment

Please note that we have a new address to send enrolment forms which is on our Contact Us page.

Enrolment for the classes and the non-auditioned choirs - Oratorio Choir and Jazz Choir - is by post before term starts (see Dates page) by sending us a completed enrolment form with your payment, or if places are available, at the first meeting of the term. Don't forget to send in your Membership Form before the start of term so you can be entered for the PRIZE DRAW to win half your fees back! Current members will also receive a £20 reduction in their fees if they introduce a new member to the group!

Alternatively if there are still places available, you can enrol at the first meeting of the term (see Dates page) - but be prepared to queue. Please contact us to ask about enrolling after term has started.

If you are interested in joining the Chamber Choir or Jazz Ensemble, please read the information about auditions.

Discounts and concessions

Concessions apply to people who are registered unemployed or disabled, and those receiving Income Support, Working Family Tax Credit, Invalidity Benefit, Severe Disability Allowance, Jobseekers Allowance or similar benefits; also people over 60 and students in full-time education. Full-time students under 25 may also claim a further discount (except for the Learn to Read Music Class). Proof is required to claim a concessionary rate. You can have a look on our enrolment form below.

More than one choir: if you wish to join more than one choir or the Vocal Technique class, you are entitled to a discount of £25 (£17 concessions). For a third choir, deduct a further £10 (£5 concessions). The Daytime Choral Course also qualifies for this discount.

Refunds

If a choir rehearsal has to be cancelled, for example, due to bad weather conditions, refunds will not be given, as we will try to arrange an alternative date. If a class has to be cancelled and cannot be rearranged, the fee will be refunded based on the number of cancelled sessions.

If a member does not take up a place or complete a term for any reason (other than the above) there is no entitlement to a refund. If you wish to transfer to another choir or class you need to consult our Administrator, and any difference in the fee or subscription must be paid or be refunded. If you require a receipt for your postal enrolment, you will need to enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope.

Gift Aid

If you are a taxpayer, current legislation allows us to reclaim basic rate income tax on your membership subscriptions (however not on CDs, class fees or tuition elements). When enrolling please sign the declaration on the Membership Form if you are happy for us to do this. Remember to notify us if you no longer pay an amount of income tax and/or capital gains tax equal to the tax we can reclaim on your donations.

E-Group

As a member, you will be invited to become a member of the AS Yahoo e-group and will receive e-mail information about choir activities, social and other events. An online resource only, you can access information sheets, publicity posters, the Newsletters, Committee Minutes, photos of concerts, additional trips and social events. This helps us reduce postal costs and speeds up communication about choir events.
