WELCOME TO THE HASLEMERE BRANCH OF NADFAS

HDFAS was founded in 1971 and we currently have nearly 300 members.

Meetings take place at Haslemere Hall (see venue) on the 3rd or 4th Tuesday of each month, September to June, at 2.00 for 2.15pm and include coffee, tea and biscuits in the Hall Annexe afterwards. We also have occasional evening meetings.

Lecturers are selected from the NADFAS directory, chosen for their expert knowledge and also for their ability to present their subject in an informal and entertaining way. In addition to the lectures (see programme) we run a series of study days, which include lunch, and several outings a year to places of historical and artistic interest.

2008 is the 40th anniversary of the founding of NADFAS
in 1968 by Patricia Fay. A commemorative celebration logo
has been designed for this 40th Anniversary.

HDFAS organised a special evening meeting to celebrate the anniversary which took place at Haslemere Museum on 6th June. After drinks, FRANCES HUGHES gave a lecture on 'NOEL COWARD: THE MASTER, AS ACTOR, WRITER AND PAINTER'.
