After 15 years at the helm I am stepping down as the Society's Webmaster. In that time I have enjoyed facilitating one interface between the membership and Committee and I have also enjoyed being part of what has become a vibrant and interesting society dedicated to Richard Wagner. It has also been a privilege to ensure that work of the NSW Wagner Society (including the great Wagner Quarterly Edited by Terence Watson) is made a available to the worldwide Wagner Community.
Your Website will be changing in the next few months - these changes I beleive will stregthen the links within the Wagner fraternity.
Our Facebook Page is another vibrant interface with the Community and I urge you to become a friend of that page.

The AGM was delighted that Vice President Colleen Chesterman has agreed to step into Jane's very big shoes.
