STRUCTURE: We are managed by a Council, elected each year at the AGM, consisting of a President, two Vice Presidents, and 12 Council Members, three of whom, according to our current Constitution, must be non-Artistmembers. There is also an Immediate Past President in an ex-officio role. There is also an Administration Officer who is responsible to the Council through the President.

(Work is in progress to extend our records of past councils)
