The BHS needs your help!
The British Harpsichord Society is not in a position to pay anybody but voluntary help is highly valued. Our only source of income is from the small charge we make for displaying For Sale instruments on the website. This money is presently used to help defray the expense of maintaining this website.
In future we hope to organise more events and visits for our members. These will certainly take a lot of organising and may involve us in some costs. Members can, if they are kind enough to do so, help us not only financially but also in a variety of other ways…
Please volunteer – some small ways in which you can help:
- Donations are always very welcome – use the Donation button at the bottom of this page, or email Treasurer@harpsichord.org.uk
- Help with publicity – download, print and distribute our flyers at events or mention the British Harpsichord Society in programme notes
