Or rather, my family would like to buy me ‘Friendship’ of the Bath Mozartfest, which gets you priority booking, an invitation to a party and the warm glow of knowing you’re helping to support this festival.
This started as a birthday present for me last year. In March or so my husband tried to arrange for me to be a Friend, but was told that he should ask again nearer the time of the Mozartfest, which falls in November. So he returned in the autumn, by which time Friendship was no longer available. ‘You need to ask about it earlier’ ‘I did!’ He was assured that Friendship would be available for the 2012 Mozartfest as soon as 2011’s ended, so he collected a form and sent it off with a cheque in December.
The cheque still hasn’t been cashed, so we’re wondering just when you’re supposed to apply to become a Friend.
Good news is that I’ve had a letter confirming that I am a friend of Mozartfest 2012.
With less happy results though: see here.
