Chester Decorative & Fine Arts Society

A Member Society of NADFAS

Plans for Change

In September 2012, your committee has agreed that Chester DFAS will become a dual lecture Society. 

Our increasing popularity, with a membership of 250 and a substantial waiting list, means that we have outgrown our venue which holds a maximum of 173 people with no possibility of additional seating because of health and safety regulations. 

Moving to 2 lectures will give everyone a fair chance of attending, allow us to introduce new members from the waiting list and include occasional members’ guests.  

When you renew your membership in June 2012, you will be asked to choose whether you want to attend either the Morning 11.00 am lecture or the Afternoon 2.00 pm lecture and these changes will commence in September 2012.  The provisional timings are:

Morning Session Afternoon Session
10.15am Doors open
Members arrive for coffee
1.15pm Doors open
Members arrive for coffee
11.00am Lecture 2.00pm Lecture
12.30pm Lecture ends, members depart 3.30pm Lecture ends, members depart
12.45pm Closed    

Our Society will be stronger and more viable after these changes and Chester DFAS will be able to grow and include a wider membership while remaining  a friendly, welcoming  society.
