club
The Indian Gymkhana Cricket Club is the largest and longest-standing Asian Sports Club in the United Kingdom (founded 1916). The club is based on privately owned grounds in Osterley, West London.
We aim to be London’s friendliest orchestra, and we always give new members a warm welcome. There are no formal entry requirements, and we don’t audition unless there is excess demand for an instrument.

We expect a minimum playing standard of Associated Board grade 6 or equivalent. If you want to give us a try but aren’t sure, you are very welcome to join in rehearsals for a few weeks to see how you like it, with no obligation. We’d be particularly delighted to hear from violinists. Please get in touch using the form on our website.
When?
We rehearse on Monday evenings, from 7.30pm until 9.45pm. Then some of us go to The Rising Sun on London Road, corner of Wood Lane, TW7 5AQ.
Music?
We play a wide range of music. Typically we will open a concert with an overture, followed by a concerto, often with a guest soloist, then play a symphony in the 2nd half.
Fees?
Full annual fee £200, over 60s £155, students £75 (or £25 per term).
Concerts?
Concerts usually take place at St Mary’s, where we rehearse. Gents wear black tie, ladies all black. Our “season” consists of concerts in November, March and July.
Rehearsals take place at St Mary’s Church, Osterley Road, Isleworth TW7 4PW, which is a ten minute walk from Isleworth train station or Osterley tube station.
