ANATS NSW Chapter News

On Sunday 19 November 2006 was NSW’s Annual General Meeting  which followed a very successful Performance afternoon at St Andrews Cathedral School in the city. 23 talented young singers performed and were accompanied (most of them) by John Martin. (Some were self accompanied or accompanied by their teacher or used a backing track).

The 2007 NSW committee was elected at the meeting and as a result we now have a new President and Vice President.

Our new committee therefore is:

• Carol-ann Bentley          President
• Kathleen Connell           Vice President
• Robyn Wells                 Treasurer
• Jane Van Balen             Secretary
• Judy Lindeman              Members Secretary

Committee members: Cathy Aggett; Linda Barcan; Stephen Baker; Diane Hughes; Anne-Maree McDonald; Lilija Sile 
Regional members: Margaret Balsom (Orange); Lilija Sile (Central Coast); Inge Southcott (Armidale)

A big welcome to Cathy Aggett and Linda Barcan - It’s great to have you on board!

And we say a fond farewell to Rowena Cowley, Genevieve Killelea and Sussane Towers. Rowena has served as our President wonderfully and will continue to be part of the ANATS National Council. Thank you so much to all three of you for your valuable contributions to the committee.

Jane Van Balen, Secretary (NSW chapter)

anats (NSW) is pleased to announce a special Performance Afternoon to be held at St Andrews Cathedral School (474 Kent Street, Sydney - near Town Hall Station) on Sunday 19 November from 2:00 pm.  It is to be a fairly informal occasion where young students (6-19 years) can have the opportunity to perform before an audience. 

Following the performance, will be the NSW chapter’s Annual General Meeting for 2006 from 4:00 pm.

A few weeks ago, all NSW members would have received a copy of the Performance afternoon brochure as well as AGM notice and proxy voting forms.
