Summer approaches, and there are no lectures in July or August. Our fifty-fifth season will begin on September 14th. Our first lecture will be  'John Constable - Chocolate Box  Painter or Maverick Artist?' by Alan Read.

Visitors are most welcome, but please notify the Membership Secretary in advance: membershipnf@outlook.com 

When visiting the Hall for the monthly Arts Society lectures, attendees are reminded to register their car at one of the two machines located in the reception area.  This will give attendees free parking for 24 hours.  If attendees are dropped off and the car then leaves the car park, you do not need to register the car, as you will have a 2-hour period of free parking.  If, however, the car returns to collect an attendee AFTER THE 2-HOUR FREE PERIOD and is not registered at the parking machine in the reception area, then a fine may be payable.  It is advisable to register any car, whether for parking or just dropping off. Please allow time to register and remember your car's registration number.
