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

ASSOCIATION (REA) 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST TWINNING

The borough of Richmond is twinned with Fontainebleau in France and Konstanz in Germany. The Richmond in Europe Association works closely with Richmond, Fontainebleau & Konstanz Councils to promote sporting, cultural and educational links and exchanges between the 3 towns & surrounding areas. The 60th anniversary of the first twinning between the three towns will take place in Richmond from 26th-28th June

2020. The REA is encouraging all local societies to arrange Europe-themed events around this date that can be included in this exciting and dynamic festival. If you are interested in this celebration and would like your association to take part, please get in touch with REA and let them know how you might like to participate.
