Solent Orchestra Chair Tim has played oboe and Cor Anglais with the group since joining (in its Marchwood Orchestra days) around 2005. He has been playing with orchestras since the 1970s, and has a job specializing in acoustics. He has been chair of Marchwood Orchestra and now Solent Concert Orchestra, and also sits on the Music Selection Committee.
His role is to chair the meetings of the orchestra committee, to which the various sub-operations (such as Treasurer, Concert Manager, Charitable Giving, Recruitment and Player Welfare, Guest Players, Publicity, Library and Music Selection) report.
He also has responsibility for resolving in a fair manner, and in accordance with the constitution, any sensitive or unexpected situations where it would not be appropriate (or not be sufficiently rapid) to involve the whole committee, and for reporting on his actions appropriately to the committee.
