2025 Open Day flyer

13th SEPTEMBER

10.00am - 4pm Saturday 13th September. HRS Open Day with Helen Hooker £15.00.

Colden Common Community Centre, St Vigor Way, Colden Common SO21 1UU

Please apply using this application form.


Our open playing days are open to recorder players who have had some experience of playing in small ensembles or SRP branches. It is not for beginners - you need to be an able sight reader to enjoy the challenge of playing some great music within a large recorder orchestra. (Players from other recorder orchestras are warmly invited to join HRS for the day.)

It will be possible to change instruments throughout the day, so it would help us in the planning to know which recorders you will be bringing. Bring all your chosen recorders, a music stand and a pencil, a packed lunch and a water bottle.

The community centre has excellent accessible facilities and plenty of free parking. An additional practical bonus is an onsite Co-op convenience store.

Doors will open to welcome you from 09:30. Playing will start promptly at 10.00.
