Where we're at

abcd currently has over 700 members - a record number for the Association. We believe however that the potential number is huge - somewhere between 10,000 and 50,000! The more members we have, the more value we can give to membership by putting on more courses and events and providing more services.

Our target

Our aim is to reach 1,000 members by 2010 - or sooner, if members like you can help.

As part of our recruitment drive, during 2007 we launched a Member get Member campaign. Perhaps you've been meaning to ask a colleague or friend for ages about joining abcd, or perhaps you have acquaintances that you haven't previously considered but who might be interested and would benefit from what abcd membership offers.

As a gesture of thanks we will give a £10 discount off the Convention 2008 fee and a bottle of fine wine to those recruiters who attend Convention. In addition, all members who recruit one or more people will be entered in a Prize Draw. We are most grateful to our Corporate and Associate Members who donated prizes, including

BaBa Productions. One free set of music for your choir from the current catalogue of BaBa Productions. In addition, BaBa Productions will give all members who recruit a new member a 10% discount on any music ordered direct at any one time during the period to the 2008 abcd Convention. A discount of 15% will apply if such purchases exceed £250.

Lindsay Music. 3 for the price of 2 on a single order of anything from the current catalogue (excluding titles from World Music Press and GIA publications).

Oxford University Press. A voucher for £100 to be spent on OUP choral music.

We hope that you'll feel able to help us. You can download a membership form off the abcd website, or alternatively ring the abcd office and we can put copies in the post to you. Don't forget to ask the new member to add your name to their membership form, so that we can enter you in the prize draw.
