Wow!! What a night we had at The Sound Lounge for our AGM. Thanks to everyone who showed up for our biggest gathering in several years.

Everyone in attendance was gifted an ANS mug as a small practical token of our appreciation in celebration of our ten year anniversary and we’ve loved seeing photos of your mugs out in the wild – keep them coming folks!

We said thank you and au revoir to our Chair, Tom Franck, and we now welcome Margaret Thomas, our new Chair. We’re also delighted to confirm that Maggie Cooper has joined the Executive Committee as a Trustee.

We celebrated some amazing grant projects inviting successful applicants on stage to tell their stories, and once the formal meeting closed, we had an excellent party.

You can see the slides and minutes from the meeting if you’d like to take a look.

We hope you find some time to relax with good people in the coming weeks and we’ll be back with more news about the local arts and cultural scene in 2025!
