Alan Lane Memorial Weekend - 2008
The dates for the Alan
Lane Memorial weekend for 2008 are 29th & 30th June in this tropical and
beautiful city of Townsville, just prior to the commencement of the
Chamber Music Festival so participants can stay on and make a musical
sojourn of the holidays in June 2008 . Presenters include: Piers Lane,
Sonny Chua and John Colwill. Many other great presenters are being
approached covering vocal, string woodwind and musicology/ theory.

SUMMARY OF WRITTEN and VERBAL
FEEDBACK FROM 2006 ALAN LANE MEMORIAL WEEKEND "HARMONIOUS
REEFLECTIONS"
hosted by Cairns Branch MTAQ
on the Saturday and Sunday of the May Day
weekend.
Feedback
sheets abounded with generous praise for the preparation, organisation,
brochures, favourable costs, sample bags, venues (3) and excellent choice of
top class presenters. Lunches and morning/afternoon teas were given high
approval and the trade and examining colleges' displays were appreciated and
well patronised.
A
few participants remarked that they would have preferred not to have had to
choose between sessions which of necessity were scheduled to run
concurrently, and suggested the May Day Monday holiday could have been
utilised to overcome this. However prior inquiries among local and
tableland teachers showed that this was not preferred, and although the day
concerned was a public holiday in Queensland this was not the case
elsewhere, so the interstate-based presenters would not have been able to be
present.
