Coda This is the interim issue 46 . 3 going out the early August 20 1 8. If you have any comments, please let me know. As the editor, the events and dates I have included in this document are those that have been given me by the respective contributors, and no contract is implied by their inclusion here by me . I hope you will understand that I cannot provide tickets for any of the concerts or give access information to the various venues, hence, the contact list on the previous pages. I would like to thank all those who provided the information that enabled this document to be created and updated. It is hoped that its contents are useful to everyone and that contributors keep me up to date. I would also be grateful if contributors could let me have expanded descriptions of their various programmes . This is so that the listing m ight become more meaningful to the reader. Although, the B.a.c.l. will still be available on line it will no longer be published as a printed version. May I remind everyone that they are encouraged to distribute this document to any one who is interested. The information contained in these pages can only be as accurate as that given to me . This free “Clash - List” is designed to inform choirs, bands and concertgoers as to ‘what’s on’ in our area and to alert concert - giving bodies to the dates occupied in order to avoid clashes. Thanks and a good holiday season. John Robinson Editor B.a.c.l.
