Vacancy

The organisers of the Richmond
upon Thames Performing Arts Festival are seeking a new Secretary for the Speech
& Drama section – a post which could be interest to a recently retired
person. Specifically the Speech & Drama section which usually attracts
about 400 entries is held at the end of March each year, currently at The White
House Community Centre, Hampton, TW12

The Secretary works from home
(the Festival has no office premises) and processes the entries, notifies the
performers of their times of performance, organises a programme of events and
runs the sessions of the Festival of which usually cover one weekend in late
March with two adjudicators.    Computer
literacy is essential and some experience of working with (mainly) young people
and their teachers in the arts field is very useful.



 It is envisaged that this would be a minimum
three year commitment on a voluntary basis, although out of pocket expenses are
reimbursed and a small honorarium may be paid. Lots of help will be given in
the first year with the syllabus and adjudicator engagement.



Interested?    Please contact Judy Hildesley (chair) judyhildesley@btinternet.com  or Pam Frazer info@richmondfestival.org.uk  for further details or to
discuss.
