Committee News

Chair of The Arts Society Nottingham - Ilanah Dance

News from the Committee

Ilanah is now providing up to date information in the emails which are sent to members each month in the first week of the month. She also gives updates in the messages she gives members before introducing the speakers at the lectures. Anything important can be communicated faster and more easily in this way.  These communications are more direct than the website and more likely to be seen by members. The committee will continue to look at new ways of getting information to you.

Chris Castleden 

Chris Castleden retired from the committee at the end of December. Her final task was to arrange the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of The Arts Society Nottingham. This included documenting the History of The Arts Society Nottingham which now has a permanent place on the website.

Chris is known to most members for welcoming them at the monthly lectures at Broadway, both in the days of ticking long paper lists and now with electronic scanning and her help with booking Special Interest Days and Visits. She will continue to do this. She is also remembered for the courses which she organised and her work as Membership Secretary.

Heritage Volunteers Representative wanted

Because Vivienne Jarvis is taking on a new role on the Area Committee and is also Chair of the Trent Valley Society belonging to The Arts Society, we need to find a new representative of Heritage Volunteers to find and organise new projects. Help is provided from the East Midlands Area and their other member societies.  Anyone who is interested and would like more information should contact Hilary Olleson who heads the HV work for the East Midlands Area
