We are very lucky to be so well supported in our venture - setting up this new society. I mentioned previously that other societies at the New Chairmans Day and at the AGM had been really helpful. Programme secretaries have shared their documentation and programmes with us. They have listened to our ideas and enabled us to clarify our thoughts. Our new societies advisor, Andrew, has been really helpful in giving just the right amount of support but helping us to become autonomous in the process. He gives us just the right amount of information so that we are not swamped or overwhelmed by the task.
We have been welcomed to lectures by another local society and had a good experience that enables us to think more carefully about our own society.
Another great source of support is Hilary, from another society, not too far away. She set up her society a few years ago. I have been lucky enough to have met up with her and also talked on the phone about all aspects of setting up the society. She is so positive and enthusiatic and always gives practical sensible advice as well as sharing any paperwork that she thinks might be helpful.
We are very lucky and able to enjoy our task thanks to these people!
