Donations in memory of Len and the video of his funeral

The Rawle family has chosen for any donations you may wish to make in memory of Leonard Rawle to go to ‘Music for All’.  The charity makes the transformative power of music accessible to all, something which was massively important to Len.

Woking Lighting and Video Upgrade

During summer 2023 we worked with an external contractor to upgrade the Wurlitzer Hall lighting and video to modern standards.  You can read about it and see pictures of the project as it was delivered HERE.  Better still, come to one of our concerts to see the improvements first hand!

Help Needed

We need your support in the following ways:

  • Chapter trustees.  You would need to be registered as a trustee of the charity, be able to support the organisation and attend committee meetings (either in person or virtually, e.g. via Zoom).
  • Woking concert set up and take down.  We would particularly welcome local people who can regularly help with this or pop into the centre when required as none of the committee live in Surrey, let alone Woking!
  • Woking concert raffle.  Organise obtaining good quality prizes, selling tickets at the concerts, help with the draw and cash up at the end of the evening.

If you think you can help or wish to learn more then please contact one of the ATOS trustees who's details you can find HERE.
