Wellington Music Week

‘Small Deficiency ‘Expected OWING to the inclement weather. experienced in: the. early stages’ of Wellington Music Week the attendances. of: the public were not as large as was hoped would be the case. In those circumstances a' small deficit is likely to be faced’ by the combined Music Week Committee. ~At a committee meeting held last week it was announced that the deficit .would be about £50--certainly not more, but possibly less, as some of the receipts had yet to be accounted for. ®his outcome is naturally disap"pointing to the. promoters of the week, he had hoped for a larger volume of public support. -In those circumstances an appeal has been made to "oHsteners who may have enjoyed the excellent programmes that were broadcast throughout the week. Sums may be sent to Mr. Ernest Dawson, secretary of Music Week Committee, Manners Street, Wellington.. Some listeners have already sent in voluntary contributions. One letter received by Mr Albert Russell from Featherston read as follows: "Both my wife and myself have been so.interested in and delighted with your midday concerts, and hearing you say on one occasion that there was a collection box at the door, we both feel that we would very much like to help, even if not actually there, and we enclose a. small donation (£1) toward \pthe cause. . . ~ We sincerely hope that the -contributions of listeners will be sufficient to wipe off the deficit. so far confronting Musie Week.
