The Eric Coates Society
Welcome to the web site of The Eric Coates Society
Following the interest shown at a meeting arranged by Hucknall Tourism and Regeneration Group and a representative of Ashfield District Council a society was proposed, and subsequently formed.
The first meeting was held at the Community Hall on Watnall Road in Hucknall on February 21st 2008, this building being next door to where Eric Coates was born On 27th August 1886.
Subsequent meetings are now held at the Godber Centre in Hucknall, and have so far included question and answer sessions, a talk and a musical evening.
Our aim is simply to encourage and promote his history and music in any way we can, through exhibitions, concerts, plays or other ways which members may suggest.
Please contact us by e-mail in the first instance and we will try to answer any queries.
