PAYPAL
It is now possible to renew your
subscription to the Society, or make other donations by using the PayPal
system. Clicking the buttons will take you direct to the
Society's PayPal account. A great example of what donations can
achieve is the release in December 2009 of Sir Adrian Boult's
legendary performance of the 'Gothic' symphony, in the
composer's presence.
WEB SHOPPING AT HBS
The Havergal Brian
Society has linked up with web-shopping portal buy.at.
This means that if you routinely buy CDs - or anything else -
online, then if you do it through buy.at
by clicking the buy.at
logo or the link above, then the stores concerned will pay a
commission to the HBS for the purchase.
As a purchaser, all
you need to do is to access your online shopping needs via the
buy.at
portal by clicking on the links on this page - that's all there is
to it. You will be helping the HBS in fundraising by doing what you
normally do.
If you don't shop
on-line - why not do it from the HBS homepage?
Poems mentioning HB: The collection called 'The Orchards of Syon' by Geoffrey Hill
contains a poem mentioning HB. Another poet has a work available on the web
- to read 'Fantasia on a theme of British Composers' by Elwood
