Meetings
The Irish Branch of the Society
of Recorder Players meets every month from September to June
in Booterstown Community Centre, Booterstown, Co. Dublin, near
the centre of Dublin.
We meet on the third Saturday of each month, except when this
might cause problems for members, e.g. major public holidays such
as Christmas, St. Patrick’s Day, etc. (See the Programme
of meetings for exact dates.)
Here’s a map of the
area
Meetings run from 2.30 pm to 5.30 pm, and are organised in three
playing sessions: roughly 2:30 - 3:15, 3:15 - 4:15 and 4:30 -
5:30. One piece of music is worked on and played during each session.
Here is the Playing Schedule
for Autumn 2007.
There is a break for tea (50c), chat and announcements between
4:15 and 4:30.
Visitors are always welcome - regular attenders usually become
members.
Music is provided and members normally bring their own music
stands.
Other Activities
We generally run one playing
weekend during the year. These are conducted by an
SRP conductor, or by a local visting conductor. They consist of
a series of playing sessions from Saturday morning to Sunday evening.
We run one or two one-to-a-part playing
days during the year. These are usually on a Sunday,
and last all day. The next one is on 17th February 2008.
We do not run the Irish
Recorder and Viol Course every year in the third
weekend of August, but members of the branch are heavily involved
and a large proportion of the membership attends each year.
