THE SUE AND FREDDY WALDING BURSARY
The British Horn Society administers this fund, which was set up to help promising young UK horn players under the age of 18, who are unable fully to develop their horn playing because of acute financial constraints.

THE MICHAEL JACKSON SCHEME
The British Horn Society is very pleased to be able to offer, for loan, four professional model horns – two Alexander 103s and two Paxman 20m. The scheme is aimed at young players, up to the age of 19, whose circumstances prevent the purchase of the type of instrument required for them to fulfil their potential. The Society is very grateful to Michael Jackson for his generous gift that has enabled the BHS to purchase these instruments. Details can be obtained from Tom Redmond, Michael Jackson Scheme.
