Committee posts after the AGM on October 9^{th 2010}

Several long-standing and stalwart members of the FODLHS committee will be standing down at the AGM this year for personal reasons. This means that, to be able to offer a full programme of monthly events and continue to produce a quality journal, new committee members are urgently needed.

Not all committee members take on a specific job, just your presence and new ideas would be very welcome. But here are some roles that need to be undertaken. If any of them appeal to you, or you are willing to help generally, please speak to me or any other of the committee. You could come along to a committee meeting to see what we get up to before making a firm decision.

1) Member of a new editing sub-committee which will be responsible for commissioning, proof reading and editing articles, ensuring they are up to the necessary standard for publication in the New Regard.

2) New Regard producer. We need someone capable of using an Adobe desktop publishing package to turn the edited contributions and photos into a product for the printers. Software provided.

3) Designing and preparing presentation boards for educational and publicity purposes. We already have a wealth of material, but continually need more to produce new presentations that will interest people and uphold the Society's prestige.

4) Housing a black and white printer and running off papers for meetings etc. as required. Private use will be allowed.

5) Organising, or helping to organise, summer visits to places of historical interest.

6) Helping at the AGM and indoor meetings next year by making and serving cups of tea and coffee etc.
