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.

Future Activities

The lecture programme for 2026 - 2027 is beng finanlised. Leaflets will be available soon and the information also available on the website.  Our programme secretaries, Lynne Woollscroft and Rita Wynne, are starting work on 2027 - 2028.

Membership Secretary

Irene Milburn is our new Membership Secretary. She has been working with Sheelagh Glanfield for some months and is an experienced member of the committee taking on various roles in the past.  Sheelagh, who has done sterling work for the past few years, including much digital updating of the membership process and communication with members, will remain on the committee until the end of June. 

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
