Kingsbridge Estuary DFAS celebrates its 15th Anniversary this year.  See NEWS & KEDFAS EVENTS                                            

The Society held its first meetings on Wednesday 29th and Thursday 30th September 1993. The NADFAS Chairman, Mrs Nancy Hodgson, was in attendance.
The inaugural lecture - Thomas Chippendale: his Life and Work -  was given by Mr Janusz Karczewski-Slowikowski. The society started with a membership of over 350, divided between Wednesday evening and  Thursday  morning sessions.

The KEDFAS logo was designed by a founder member, Mrs Benedicta FitzGerald. being the winning entry in a members' competition for a society logo. The entries were judged by our National Chairman and one of NADFAS' Vice Presidents, the distinguished architect, designer, author and President of the Royal Academy, the late Sir Hugh Casson. 

The aim of this website is to promote and encourage an awareness of KEDFAS and the Arts amongst all ages. Monthly lectures are given by experts in their field. Study days allow for an in-depth study of an arts-related topic; these days are conducted by professional lecturers. Visits and tours provide an opportunity for seeing places of artistic and historic interest both at home and abroad, also an opportunity for meeting and making new friends.

The 40th Anniversary NADFAS AGM takes place in Liverpool on 14 May -
