As well as playing members, we are fortunate in having a group of loyal supporters or “friends” who are known to us as our vice-presidents. No qualifications are needed, apart from a love of music, and all that is needed to become a vice-president is to pay a small annual subscription, currently a modest £30 per year ( or more if you wish!) In return the Orchestra will provide TWO complimentary tickets for each of the four or five annual concerts. In addition we will keep you up to date with our concert plans and news of the Orchestra and its members in a periodic newsletter. VPs are also invited to the Orchestra’s social events. To find out more please contact us.

CCO would like to pay tribute to John Baker our Hon Treasurer and Secretary who sadly passed away on 18th January 2012. John will be sadly missed by us all.
CCO wish to acknowlege the tremendous loss which our community has suffered through the recent and very sudden (September 2011) death of our dear friend Peter Cobb. The Orchestra could not have wished for a better friend, he will be sadly missed.
Our grateful thanks to all those who support CCO including the staff at the Clacton Gazette and Tony Ellis.
Yes I too am very saddened by the loss of two of our great supporters and friends-Peter Cobb and,more recently, John Baker.
Their contribution was really immeasurable and I`m sure that the orchestra will continue, but with the knowledge that much of their output was as a result of their dedication and committment.
RIP both of them
