CATERING AT GLYNDEBOURNE • SIR,-1 read with fascinated interest the
renewed correspondence in your columns on the food supplied at Glyndebourne. But what chiefly interests me is— how did your correspondents get to Glyndebourne?
For two successive years I have tried to get tickets without success : in the Mozart centenary year I sent a cheque a few weeks before the opening of the box office, but was informed that all seats had been sold a couple of weeks before the start of public booking.
One can only assume that those who, living near London, join the Glyndebourne SOciety (or whatever its name may be) for the privilege of attending Sunday performances also have the privilege of prior booking for weekday performances—a privilege which they use to such effect that members of the general public are apparently precluded from ever hearing the operas or tasting the food.—Yours faithfully, J. D. K. LLOYD Bron Hafren, Garthmyl, Montgomery
