The Arts Society Corinium was founded by John Tiffney in 2013 and on 10th May we celebrate our 10th anniversary. We are having a dinner with a few speeches to mark the occasion and Katrina Webb will be singing for us. Our venue is the South Cerney Golf Club (Northmoor Lane, South Cerney, Cirencester, Gloucestershire GL7 5QD).

A newsletter will be soon be issued to Members with a link to the page on the website with more information on the costs and the booking arrangements.

This year one of the organisations we are supporting in our Arts in the Community is the Velcro Collective which will be putting on creative and fun outdoor dance events (15th April and 17th June) at Westonbirt for partially sighted children together with their family members. 

Check-out the Velcro Collective's website for more information on their activities. 

The West Mercia Area of the Arts Society is large and diverse, including the Cotswolds, the cities of Worcester, Gloucester, Hereford, Cardiff, Brecon and St Davids, the West Wales Coast and the Malvern Hills. 

The Fifty Treasures book concentrates on a selection of treasures that might not normally be found in conventional guides, all of which have been selected by the members of the various Arts Societies in the West Mercia Area.

Copies of the Fifty Treasures of the West Mercia Area, priced £5 will be on sale at our Talks meetings at the Cirencester Baptist Church.  

Why not keep a copy in your car and next time you are exploring the West Mercia Area see if you can find the treasures in the book. Three of the treasures are in or near Cirencester!

We are constantly working to improve and grow our Society – this works particularly well when Members actively participate in the delivery of our activities.  For each role, we are endeavouring to recruit at least two people.  This gives extra support to the role holders, provides back-up for when one is on holiday and, importantly, increases ideas and creativity in our approach. 

Any members interested in helping are asked to contact any of the committee members during a meeting, or by email.
