THE Coffs Harbour and District Eisteddfod Society (CHDES) is calling on community members to join its ranks, to maintain its tradition of providing outstanding performing arts opportunities.
The society’s Annual General Meeting will be held on Sunday 21 September from 12:30pm, at the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden.
All executive positions will be declared vacant, along with several Discipline Coordinator roles.
The regular monthly will follow.
CHDES’ current president Debbie Waters told News Of The Area that unless the organisation has an increase in membership and support from the local community, some disciplines are in danger of not proceeding in 2026.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute your skills, passion, and time to support local performers across multiple art forms, including vocal, drama, dance, instrumental, piano and choirs,” Ms Waters said.
“We welcome new members to be part of our not-for-profit society and help us continue to grow the Eisteddfod for years to come.”
2026 will be the 53rd year of providing this performance platform and assistance is required to continue.
CHDES’ volunteer information and membership details can be found online at coffseisteddfod.org.au.
Ms Waters can be contacted directly at president@coffseisteddfod.org.au.
