We demand that St Martin-in-the-Fields reverse outrageous decision to cast out loyal musicians
For 30 years our orchestras and choirs have brought joy to thousands of people and raised millions of pounds to support the work of St Martin-in-the-Fields and the homeless. Now in the midst of a global pandemic with no consultation we have been informed by email, by the Director of Music at St Martin-in-the-Fields, that our concerts will end and that evening concerts will be mainly in-house. We have effectively been summarily dismissed.
We call on people of all faiths and none to support our appeal to senior management at St Martin's to immediately reverse this decision, which will cause severe hardship for hundreds of our musicians in numerous orchestras and choirs, who have served and supported St Martin's faithfully, building a concert series from virtually nothing over three decades, creating the commercially and artistically successful concert series we see today.
This abrupt and dismissive action is callous and un-Christian behaviour. It will reduce the viability of hundreds of our musicians' freelance work and put many professional orchestras out of business.

UK Referendum on Immigration & Case for Net Zero – For Immigration When were you ever asked anything about immigration?

Today we see our coast plagued with boat after boat from France carrying essentially young men from the Middle East claiming asylum. Our government usher them in without prop

NPS Qualifier North
Many Northern riders are feeling disgruntled that the allocation of qualifiers doesn't include the North. We are a very strong area both in quality and quantity and feel we aren't getting the recognition we deserve.The nearest one is still hours away and involves a lot of travelling for ponies which we thought the NPS were trying to avoid. We the undersigned would like to respectfully make this fact known to the powers that be and request that we can be allocated the final show to be confirmed.
