While Survey Results tend to remain very positive, these upbeat figures hide the disappointing trend of falling club night attendances. This will force us to rethink a number of aspects concerning next season.

14/01/2008 - Chichester Festivities 2008
As last year, our early July member’s evening will form part of the official Chichester Festivities programme for 2008. This season, the 4 July 2008 concert will feature the Georgia Mancio Sextet and the event will be included in the official Chichester Festivities guide and promotion material. Sometime after April, tickets will go on sale to the general public from the Festivities box office based in the Bell Tower, Chichester Cathedral. To safeguard the interests of CJC members wishing to attend this concert, advance CJC ticket availability arrangements will be announced soon. This is an all-ticket event.
14/01/2008 - Special Survey

We are frequently complimented on the quality and variety of jazz music on offer and other local jazz clubs envy our ability to manage this at membership prices substantially below average.

To get a better understanding of your views and to help us plan for future events, we have sent out a questionnaire with the January 2008 newsletter. If you would like a copy of this please contact Steve Tibballs, CJC Membership Secretary on 01243 782436
14/01/2008 - Colin Snook
Please spare a thought for our red-shirted Colin in this weather sleeping in a hedgerow or a barn with the cows. Many of you have offered your time, presence, money and more in support of his noble cause and I know Colin is genuinely thankful for the support received from his CJC colleagues and friends. You can follow his progress on www.walkgb4climb.org.uk
