Chairman’s Introduction

WELCOME TO OUR 90th FESTIVAL

I am delighted to continue to serve again as Chairman of this prestigious and very important annual event. We enjoyed ahighly successful Festival last year and anticipate another packed programme of classes and events in the next one.

We will continue to celebrate different aspects of the Performing Arts through speech and drama, singing and music whichwill be brought to us by the many performers all of whom, together with their teachers, work hard to bring their uniqueperformances to us during the Festival.

It is more important than ever before that we continue to strive to support performers of all ages and abilities by giving themexciting opportunities to develop their skills and perform with confidence to very appreciative audiences. More adultparticipation would be especially welcome.

Our very active volunteer committee, coordinators and stewards are determined to develop welltested old, and newinnovations to support the broad objectives of the Festival thereby enhancing its prestige in the wider community. Twooutreach 2016 events at Sidholme, Sidmouth and Blundell’s School, Tiverton were very successful and we hope next year tobe able to continue to offer more. A Piano Masterclass at Sidmouth Parish Church during the afternoon of Friday 12 Maywith an internationally acclaimed pianist is already in the calendar.

The ongoing challenges we face both financially and logistically are substantial, so any further help from other sourceswould be very gratefully received. Please contact any committee member or myself if you can help us in any way. We willbe making a very special effort to contact schools and colleges as well as individual teachers. Please let us know if you canadd names to our existing date base of contacts or help with publicity and/or stewarding.

Our combination of using two venues last year proved a little difficult and we are grateful to both venues for their flexibilityand cooperation. This year we hope to improve matters by making some small changes to our programme so that we willhave a block of three days at United Reformed Church, with the rest of the events being at South Street Baptist Church. Wehope this will be clearer for our participants and make organisation simpler. The Gala Concert will also take place at UnitedReformed Church. Please check on the website for details as well as more information about the Festival. A printed syllabusis available on request.

Our exciting 2017 Festival commences on 20th February, culminating in a special Gala Concert at Southernhay UnitedReformed Church, Exeter on Sunday 12th. March at 3 p.m.

I sincerely look forward to seeing many of you at one or more events and hope that you will thoroughly enjoy the 2017Festival.

Roger Hendy

Our Venue

We are no longer able to use the balcony at South Street Baptist Church due to health and safety concerns, so our largerevents (and some other classes due to resultant timetabling problems) will be held at the United Reformed Church.

Each class will show the venue where we plan to hold it, but depending on the number and nature of the entries, the venuefor some classes may have to be changed in the final timetable. Please refer back to this website to confirm the venue foryour classes.

For 2017, we have been able to arrange a blockbooking at United Reformed Church for the following dates (which wehope will be simpler for all concerned), so if your class is due to be held on any of these dates it will definitely be at UnitedReformed Church:

Friday 24th FebruarySaturday 25th FebruarySunday 26th February (Afternoon only)

Our venues are:South Street Baptist Church, Exeter, EX1 1JAUnited Reformed Church, Southernhay, EX1 1QA

LOCATION

South Street Baptist Church is on the East side of South Street, Exeter, opposite the junction with Market Street. Thelower part of South Street is two way, but northbound traffic must turn into Market Street as the higher part of South Streetis oneway southbound. By following Market Street across Fore Street, into Mary Arches and Bartholemew Street, it ispossible to turn into North Street and return down South Street.

The best approach by vehicle is down South Street (southbound) so that the Church is on your left. A little higher up SouthStreet (ie before you reach the Church) there is a parking bay for coaches, and a loading bay a little further down, suitablefor pickup and setdown.

For disabled access, it is possible to setdown and pickup immediately in front of the building.

United Reformed Church is at the top of Southernhay. There is no through route for vehicles past the church, but you mayloop round at the top of Southernhay, or approach from Paris Street, past the Civic Centre and set down in front of thechurch.

Parking is available in various car parks around the city.
