Welcome to RLSDFAS which was formed in October 1993 to promote appreciation of the fine and decorative arts. We have a lively and extensive programme of lectures, study days, day visits and short breaks for our 620 members. Click the menu options to the left to see more details. The Society has charitable status and is run by a volunteer committee elected at the Annual General Meeting.
