The NSSO and Social Media

The Facebook Group

A Facebook Group was set up by NSSO stalwart Pam Booth. Pam really is a dedicated member. She plays Second Violin and holds a hugely important position in the orchestra, that of  Orchestra Manager.

Pam works tirelessly to support and promote the activities of the NSSO and to this end launched the group, without any fuss or fanfare, on 17 January 2014, but slowly and surely it has been gathering momentum and is there for all the world to see.  Well done Pam!

If you’re signed up to Facebook and would like to see what’s going on, here is the link https://www.facebook.com/groups/1374811852783045/

You can become a member of the group, upload your own posts, and keep up to date with what others are saying.

And this, the History Blog, has been created by Terry Woolliscroft.  Terry was a long-serving trumpet player but has now ‘retired’ to Front of House duties. Terry can often be seen on concert days with his sister Kathy Niblett and many other volunteers, assisting the audience.

This website complements Kathy’s excellent book ‘A Unique Orchestra’ which she researched, written and published in 2004 to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the NSSO.

The book is a fascinating and detailed history and there are a few copies left at £8.95 incl postage. Use the contact page here> if you would like to get in touch and buy one.  Sales go towards the orchestra's operating costs.

This site is growing as more information, text, movies and photographs are added to it.
