The Society is a Charity (No. 510264) and is run by a committee elected at the Annual General Meeting. This is held during a rehearsal in the autumn term. Reports on the year are presented by the chairman, musical director and treasurer, and committee members are elected. Opportunities to nominate or be nominated to the committee will be announced at the rehearsals in the weeks beforehand.

Funding
Members' subscriptions cover the cost of rehearsals. We lose around £3,000 on each concert, as we pay for the orchestra and soloists. We bridge the gap by running fundraising events, such as the regular raffles and a 100 Club, plus occasional events such as a quiz, auction of promises etc. We are always interested in fundraising ideas!
