HHH concerts

Jan 07, 2024

A chamber music society in Haslemere

HHH concerts was founded as the Haslemere, Hindhead and Headley Music Club in January 1934. Back then, its concerts took place in member's homes. In 1993 it changed its name to HHH concerts. The name change marked a shift in style from an intimate club to a society promoting public concerts. It aims to enable music lovers to hear outstanding music performances locally and to provide opportunities to young professional musicians.

How they work:

HHH Concerts presents a season of concerts in St Christopher's Church in Haslemere each year. At the moment, they hold approximately 15 concerts per annum. They also have a number of outreach initiatives with local care homes and schools and they have recently started a collaborative venture with Hindhead Music Centre.

Tickets to concerts can be purchased online at https://www.hhhconcerts.org.uk/tickets or on the door, subject to availability. Tickets for young people aged between 8 and 25 are free at every ensemble concert. These tickets are funded by HHH Concerts’ membership of the Cavatina Trust.

How to help:

HHH concerts are currently looking for someone to take on the role of Secretary / Administrator. This role involves closely working with the Chairman and with local external parties such as schools and churches. Working hours are flexible and you can work from home. However, attendance is requested for approximately 3 hours at each board meeting. Responsibilities would include providing support at board meetings and at the AGM, issuing agendas and papers, taking minutes, maintaining the files of performer contracts, arranging HHH bookings with venues, liasing with schools, keeping up to date policies, maintaining a register of volunteers as well as other administrative tasks as agreed with the Chairman. More information can be found at the HHH website at https://www.hhhconcerts.org.uk/secretary

HHH concerts would also love to hear from anyone interested in becoming a Trustee. Trustees are volunteers who lead charities and decide how they are run. Trusteeship can be a great way of contributing to causes you care about. Anyone can be a trustee and the role can be quite flexible both in terms of time and the nature of the role.

HHH is a registered charity, no 1039309. All the trustees and volunteers at HHH are unpaid.

An Interview with The Haslemere Bookshop

31 Jul, 2023

Interview with Ian Rowley, owner of The Haslemere Bookshop The Haslemere Bookshop is an independent bookshop at the heart of Haslemere High Street selling new and second-hand books, and cards. Did you face any challenges when setting up the business? There has been a bookshop on the High Street for many years. When I took over the shop from Ronald Timms in 2014, I had no idea how a bookshop worked; fortunately the staff (all friends or family) did! Since then, through their hard work, the business has been transformed. Not only does the shop look very different but we are online, more community focussed and our second-hand book section rejuvenated.
