On the evening of Tuesday 28th February Brentford Chamber held a meeting which was kindly hosted by Ginette Kentish at The Musical Museum. The theme of the evening was “Heritage & Leisure”. Hence as well as our regular members we also invited representatives from organisations and businesses related to those sectors.
The evening started with a drinks reception in the exhibition gallery, during which Catherine Lemmon and Annette Jezierska entertained us with a violin and piano duet.
We then held the main part of the meeting in the Concert Hall. Firstly Richard Coles, the museum’s curator, performed two pieces on the Wurlitzer Organ and then spoke about the museum. New member Sarah Poland then explained the services provided by Mediation Chambers Ltd After that Paul Skelhorn and Lee Doyle from Brentford F.C. Community Sports Trust, told us about an event that they and ISIS are delivering later this summer, a community sports event open to everyone. It would be great to have our business members involved with their event, so look out for details.
