The Tonbridge Decorative Fine Arts Society don't half move quickly. They asked me a while ago if I'd put something in my column in the Courier. A column which I hadn't written for over six months! I replied saying pretty much that but I'd be glad to include a link to their website on TonbridgeBlog. Low and behold, 2 months later and probably several committee and sub committee meetings later, they've sent me the reply below. I know I'm being a bit cheeky taking the micky out of them, because they are probably very decent people, but it tickled me just how long such a simple decision can take. I can just picture them now getting to the fourth item on the AOB part of the agenda and then agonising over the advantages and disadvantages of being on such an outspoken site.
"Dear Mr R Thanks for your e-mail 3 March 2009 mentioning your Tonbridge blog. The committee would be very pleased if you could put a link on it to our web site.www.nadfaskentarea.org.uk This is the web site for all NADFAS societies in Kent and there is a link to the Tonbridge TDFAS society. Kind regards Barbara C TDFAS"
So what's best then a committee or a dictator running the society? I hear you all cry in unison....

Hilarious. They are a bunch of decent little grey haired, middle classed ladies who think they know what art is all about (but don't). I can just picture them discussing their options.
no sign of a link to the society in the list on the left edge of the page though... (or not yet)
