In 1998 the society was awarded a National Lottery Capital Grant which enabled it
to purchase staging and seating for a choir of 120 and seating and music stands for
the Cranbrook Sinfonia. One of the conditions of the grant was that the society should
offer other choral societies, schools and performing groups the opportunity of hiring
the whole or part of the equipment. Since this offer was made known, the staging
has been in constant demand by choral and orchestral societies in many parts of the
south-
