Membership

There has been tremendous support among our members renewing their subscriptions.  So far we have 134 members already subscribed for this year of presentations and meetings.

We are continuing to receive subscriptions for the coming year. The annual subscription from September 1 is £15 per member. For members joining February onwards there is a discount for the part year.

Casual visitors are charged £4.50 per evening.

Programme year 2011-12

The programme commencing September 2011 is available to view on the website. Printed membership booklets with the programme are available for collection by members at the first meeting they attend.

New Committee member

For some time we have been appealing for volunteers who will help guide our society. We are delighted to welcome Lisa Lear onto the committee from January

Meetings layout.

For meetings when we anticipate an especially large attendance the chairs will be facing the front, not side, of the hall. Earliest arrivals to the front please to minimise disruption from any late comers. We will use the microphone to ensure that all in the audience can enjoy the exciting presentation.

Subsequent meetings layout will be determined on the basis of expected turnout.

In general we are close to hall capacity for many meetings and the committee is considering alternative venue arrangements, although our preference is to remain where we are.

Refreshments

To encourage social interaction after the meetings refreshments are now free of charge.  Voluntary contributions will however be accepted for Wine and fruit juice. .

Committee members

We continue still to seek members who can help in the management of the Society. Demands on time are not great as we find that many hands make work lighter. It would be especially useful if folk could assist with publicity (this web site and local magazine contributions), with secretarial support and in hospitality.
