Programme
You
have now all received your programmes for 2010. I will soon be
starting to prepare the programme for 2011 and thank those of
you who have sent me their suggestions for lectures. I will be
including a lecture/s on the Victorians and their art to Bookham
DFAS to link in with a major exhibition in 2011 at the V &
A.
We try to include lectures which will give more background information
on major exhibitions. In March NADFAS holds a NADFAS Directory
Day in London where newly approved lecturers give a three minute
talk on their subjects and established lecturers one minute! It
gives a good overview and also enables us to look for new lecturers
for our meetings as we have done so with Twigs Way in 2010.
There is also an Area meeting held locally, where Programme Secretaries
and Visits Secretaries of each Society in the Area (12 in our
Area) to discuss the previous year’s lectures. We now have
a computer list of all lecturers, lectures and their marks since
the inauguration of Bookham DFAS for all the Societies in the
Area, which can be a useful reference.
Having mentioned all the help and information one has to support
the Programme Secretary, our Committee asks that one of our members
volunteers to shadow me through 2010 and then take over in 2011
as Programme Secretary for the following three programmes. It
is an extremely interesting job, meeting people in NADFAS and
the arts and we will do all we can to support you. Please do contact
me.
Pam Wilson, Programme Secretary
