I've recently been involved, on-line with the organisers of the Alliance of Literary Societies. The Richard Jefferies Society is a member but has recently recorded into the shadows after a number of years. I have to admit I'd not come across this organisation before but they provide an umbrella platform for over 100 societies from the big players like the Thomas Hardy Society to newly formed groups like the Ann Lister Society. I've been asked to write something up, on behalf of the Richard Jefferies Society, for their next newsletter and also a feature for their on-line version. Reading their latest newsletter today this article struck me as interesting. Elsewhere there was a piece on social media, apt as many literary societies now struggle both with attracting new members and promoting themselves efficiently in social media. It's an interesting time to be involved, it's all change as they say.
