BBC Club Prospero Society and Retired Members Dear Prospero Member, We hope you are coping with the run up to Christmas and the nip in the air. We have had another great quarter of events, Wigmore Hall concert was wonderful, a sell-out and 3 call backs for the musicians after the performance, and a complimentary glass of sherry. We were obviously lucky to get the tickets so thank you Gayner. More suggestions for events will be gratefully received. I hope to see many of you at the Christmas lunch on the 8th December. Merry Christmas to you all. Carol Elliott Chairman, BBC Club, Prospero Society.

Musical Museum Tour and Lunch Near Kew Bridge Richmond This visit to the museum usually involves live presentations of instruments including our delicate musical boxes, reproducing pianos, organs and self-playing violins. Your guests will be fascinated by the intricate workings and amazing sound of an orchestrion that recreates the sound of a concert orchestra. The visit concludes in the concert hall, where our Mighty Wurlitzer theatre organ can be demonstrated, and sandwiches and tea and coffee are served.
