Tunbridge Wells & Area Music Liaison Group Diary

3 April 1996 TO ALL SOCIETIES We have now used up current funds in photocopying and mailing the diary. As we ask for cash only from time to time as necessary, I should be glad if you would arrange for the organisation which you represent to let me have a cheque for five pounds in favour of GRMC (whose Treasurer guards the funds) . To minimise costs I am reducing the size of the printed form of the diary to A5.
