RICHMOND UPON THAMES ARTS
PERFORMING ARTS FESTIVAL NEEDS
HELP! The 2019 Festival was very successful with over 2000 entries from (mainly) young performers in music dance and drama from across this borough and its neighbours, BUT additional volunteer help is much needed to organise this large competitive event. Good computer and administrative skills together with an interest in the arts and artistic education are most important. The Festival is held in February and March each year and availability in the New Year is essential. Speech & Drama and Instrumental Sections are those most in need! Judy Hildesley (Chair) [email protected] or Pam Frazer [email protected] would be delighted to hear from anybody who would like to know more about the Festival and its organisation and who think they might like to be involved. Visit www.richmondfestival.org.uk for details and pictures from this year’s events.
RICHMOND IN EUROPE
