Committee at Work

Some of the ideas discussed at committee meetings – which do you think should be pursued and can you help?

  • re-launch of the British-Russian Society as a more dynamic organisation
  • provide entertainment/information about BRS in foyer of Symphony Hall before Russian events (Symphony Hall is keen to promote links with local societies)
  • use Russian concerts and other events to distribute our publicity
  • hold Eugene Onegin/Pushkin evening shortly before a related event
  • annual membership cards showing year’s meetings
  • need decent information leaflets
  • Christmas/New Year social event (Russian Christmas is 6 Jan)
  • need to provide something of interest to members who cannot attend meetings
  • membership advantages approach bookshops for reductions? Ask Waterstones to provide talk arranged by BRS at Brasshouse Centre?
  • meetings – invite members to bring copies of newspaper articles or chapters from books for people to take away or to send to absentees
  • need good publicity eg year book (Elena showed us Botanical Gardens Year book)
  • Ikon Gallery - workshop/round table activities e.g language activities
  • change venue?
  • possible speakers – Mike Pushkin or Archie Tate from Birmingham University on literature, Charlotte Hobson, author of “Black Earth City”, Rogelio Nevares Guajardo from Birmingham School of Acting
  • weekend of Russian poetry
