NOTES FOR ALL MEMBERS

MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY SUE PARK'S TELEPHONE NUMBER
It seems that some time in the recent past we printed in the newsletter an incorrect telephone number for Sue, so someone else has been receiving apologies and requests for visitors.  We do apologise for this and hope that all members will note that Sue's telephone number is:-      01629 812047

NADFAS MEMBERSHIP CARDS
Your 2012 national membership cards are enclosed with the mailed newsletter.  Please complete these by adding the Society name (Cavendish DFAS), your full name, and signature.  The national membership card allows you to claim concessions at a number of venues, which are published in each edition of NADFAS News.

MEMBERS' EXHIBITION – MARCH 2012
Members are once again invited to contribute samples of their work and give other members a chance to see another excellent display of Cavendish DFAS artistic achievement.
Please contact Pat Paulett, Tel: 01629 812521, to make the necessary arrangements.

Members may now bring guests to lectures, with prior approval from Membership Secretary Susan Park (Telephone No. 01629 812047), but guests can only attend two lectures per season.  A £5 donation will be required for this facility.

Members should note that coffee will be available in the mezzanine area above the main restaurant, from 10.00 prior to each lecture.  This area will be reserved for Cavendish members only.  A smaller area will be set aside downstairs for members unable to climb the stairs.

Application forms for new members are available here

VOLUNTEERS
You will notice that the Renewal of Membership form included a box to be ticked if you would be willing to volunteer to join the Committee.  As you will know the Chairman retires after three years and the Treasurer and Secretary after five years.  Other Committee members’ jobs are less defined.

We are urgently seeking a few people who would be prepared for their names to be put on a list of volunteers, so when positions become vacant we have an initial source of people we can contact.

Please do not by shy – committee work is your chance to become more involved in your society, to get to know other members, and to contribute some help to enable us to keep going!  It is enjoyable and informal and we look forward to a positive response from our members.  Please think about it and tick the box!

Our membership is held at 300 with a waiting list of about 40.

To apply for membership, please download and return the application form by mail. The membership secretary will advise you of the reduced rate for joining if part way through this year of events.

At the present time guests can not be admitted, but a member wishing to bring someone on the waiting list must contact me to see if space is available. The Society is required by insurance regulations to record names of all guests attending NADFAS meetings, and to pay an insurance fee for each one.

AT THE PRESENT TIME WAITING LIST MEMBERS MAY ATTEND ONLY ONE LECTURE IN ANY ONE SEASON.
