Management committee

Day-to-day management of the Society is by the committee, whose members are elected at AGM, and represent the membership at large. The committee selects shows, recruits the artistic team to stage them, and then supports that team through the production process. The committee usually meets monthly to discuss finance, upcoming productions, fundraising, publicity and social activities. Any member can request items to be discussed at committee, by contacting us.
