Members Update on the 2020-2021 Programme
Dear Members
This is to reassure you that we are intending to start our programme as soon as the government allows and we can manage it safely. We expect to be holding the lectures in the new auditorium in the Ludlow Assembly Rooms which will have ample space to allow social distancing and give us the opportunity to buy lunch or refreshments from the new café (hopefully Bill’s Kitchen). If this should not be possible we are currently checking out different suitable venues.
In consultation with our focus group, we have booked a number of really interesting lectures for the coming year and hope that you will all be keen to pick up where we left off.
However, whilst we feel we may be coming out of lockdown, it may not yet be safe enough to have gatherings from September 2020. Therefore we have decided not to begin our actual lecture season until February 2021 and this will be preceded by the AGM in January 2021. Our new season will then continue through to July 2021. This will give you 6 lectures instead of the usual 8. As we had to cancel some lectures last year we are offering you this programme for £30 only per person. We will then start the 2021-2022 programme in September 2021 as usual with a full membership fee. We also expect to organise Visits and Days of Special Interest again as soon as we are able.
However, in order to retain all the benefits of the Arts Society, the Magazine, the On-Line Lectures etc., you will need to join or renew your subscription to the Arts Society Teme Valley as usual from this September 2020. Membership joining/renewal details are on the website in the usual place under Documents
We very much look forward to welcoming you back to the new season.
Best Wishes
Caroline Jamison and Linda Henry
