WEST Dorset Community Orchestra is inviting new members to join its ensemble.

Playing a variety of music, the orchestra, based in Bridport, is welcoming people of all ages and abilities for their new term, starting Wednesday, September 20.

Rehearsals take place in the Christian Fellowship Hall, East Street car park between 6.30pm to 7.45pm on Wednesdays.

The orchestra performs two concerts a year in St John's Church, at Christmas and in the summer, and this year welcomes a guest conductor for the autumn term and Christmas concert.

The first half of the term is free for new members as trial sessions.
