The Odiham Jazz Weekend is BACK!
IT'S BACK!
We are delighted to announce that the well established Odiham Jazz Weekend which ‘finished’ in 2007 is back this year by popular demand.
It will be held on 29th and 30th August in the fantastic setting of the Odiham Chalk Pit – by kind invitation of Ted & Eileen Pither and family – and, as usual, will feature the best of British Jazz, namely the musicians who played at The Concord Club in February – and more!
The Odiham group, the organisers for the last ten years, are pleased to announce that, for the first time, they will be joined by the Odiham Cottage Hospital Trust. The two charities are working together to bring another unforgettable event and will share the funds raised 50/50.
“Following the very successful (‘last’) anniversary event in 2007, we had many requests to keep the Jazz Weekend going but, being a very small local voluntary group, it was becoming increasingly difficult to continue to find enough committed volunteers and substantial sponsorship. For this reason, and having ‘finished’ with the best event to date, we were reluctant to continue” said Tricia Stephens, chair of the committee since its inception.
“After a certain amount of pressure and having given it much thought, we decided to approach another charity which was raising funds to support local people and make it a joint event. We chose the Odiham Cottage Hospital Trust, who are very pleased to be joining us, and together we are making excellent progress.”
