Overview
Jordans Music Club promotes four chamber music concerts, featuring world class artists, in Seer Green, Buckinghamshire, on Sunday evenings in June/July. Visit www.JordansMusicClub.org.uk for more details, including about our current season.
We are a small charity with accounts prepared on a simplified receipts and payments basis. We have a local accountant as Examiner to oversee the annual accounts for a year end of the end of November. Tickets are sold almost entirely through a ticket agency. The Treasurer role is seasonal, relatively undemanding in time and, apart from attendance at four weekday committee meetings a year, carried out from home. An interest in classical music is an advantage but not essential – the Treasurer would usually attend the concerts.
