ALBRIGHTON & DISTRICT CIVIC SOCIETY (ADCS)

(Albrighton, Boningale, Donington-with-Boscobel and Tong)

    

School Awards Scheme
The Society is now consulting the three local schools to finalise the theme for next year’s competition, the plan is to ‘roll-over’ the planned theme for 2020.

Loss of a Strong Supporter of the Society
The Committee and Members were very sad to learn of the passing of George Evans who has been a member since the Society was formed. He attended every public meeting we held and usually sat in the front row and was always keen to help the discussions along. We will greatly miss George and his contributions at our meetings.

Vacancy for committee member
We have a vacancy to join our committee and we are looking a doer to help us further our work, if anyone would like to be considered please contact the secretary.

Subscription Renewals and New Members
We have been amazed at the continuing receipt of subscriptions put through our letterboxes. Several members have suggested that we continue, in this Covid period, to add the tear-off slip at the end of our article as they say they know friends who lost the last edition of the magazine with its tear-off slip and want to send in their subs.

Again we repeat our thanks to the many residents who responded to our calls to renew subs and welcome to those new members of the Society. We continue to be very encouraged by your response and thank everyone who sent in their subs.

Please may we make another reminder - Everyone’s current membership ran out at the end of September so we really do need your help to get back the substantial membership numbers we are privileged to have.

So we are asking our loyal supporters if you will send in your subscriptions and for any new members to join us by paying the annual sum of £1 or £2 for a family membership

Apart from the subscription which helps to fund our activities, the response of the councils and authorities with whom we engage is influenced if we have a significantly large membership which demonstrates good community support. So even if you can’t volunteer for any of our projects please join to boost our membership numbers.

We invite all to join the Society or to renew your membership. It helps us to continue our work to improve the appearance of our villages & the quality of life within them.

Annual subscription is only £1 for a single membership or £2 for the family which will be valid until end September 2021.

Please tear off the slip below and send your subscription/donation to  

31/32 High St         or        56 Station Road
