New Member’s Day
On Sunday 19th April, we shall be holding a special meeting for all of those who have joined the Society in the last two years, which is intended to afford to our newer members a personal introduction to the various groups in the Society. Current members are very welcome.
We realise that with a society as large as our own, comprising a number of groups all catering for differing spheres of interest, it can sometimes be difficult to find one's way around.
At the New Members Day we shall not only provide an overview of the Society, but there will be individual members of the various groups present who can give our newer members a practical insight into what the various groups do and in particular how the new member can become more involved in the areas that interest him or her the most.
The format will be informal, as the afternoon is intended to cater for the needs of the newer members, and to provide them with the opportunity to ask - and hopefully have answered - their questions about the society from those who are best qualified to answer.
Tea and coffee will be Laid on, and the bookshop will be open. Complimentary copies of certain back numbers of the Society's publications will also be available. This is an opportunity for our newer members to meet and get to know each other and to familiarise themselves with the operation of Jews Court.
We do hope you will be able to attend, and it will help us to plan for the numbers if you could register an interest in attending by emailing the Society Chairman Nigel Burn, on nmeburn@virginmedia.com or alternatively please call the Society Office on 01522 521337.
We look forward to welcoming you.
