1st February 2026

 

Hello Everyone,

​

I am going to use my February comment to give all members a nudge. This is an excellent time to encourage some new members to join us. Do you know someone who you think would benefit from joining our Society? Are there more like minded people out there? One of your neighbours, a book club friend, a sports buddy, a walking group friend? 

You could suggest that they try a taster visit to one of our lectures, just £7.  You could encourage them to browse our website. You could even share one of our Arts Society magazines.

​

I have previously mentioned the Arts Society team nationally have the focus in their current strategy plan of attracting new members. However we all know that word of mouth is the way to get most new members. I personally was nudged by a dear friend who had joined the Crosby branch. I applied to Wirral and was put on the long waiting list. I am sure many of you remember that list! Due to excellent work by our membership secretaries we no longer have that long wait.  Joining now means that new members get the benefit of a full year’s membership, our complete programme.

​

To quote from the Winter 2025 magazine, (which I thought was a good read) Hilary Kay, our President writes … “ We offer the chance to explore the arts in great company, guided by inspirational lecturers with extraordinary levels of expertise and communication skills.”

​

Now I look forward to welcoming you to our next meeting.

Monday February 16th.

How to read the English country church.

Nicholas Henderson will be our visiting lecturer.
