IF ever enjoyed a movie at the James Theatre or attended an event at the Gresford School of Arts Hall, now could be your chance to help support these much-loved community venues.
Dungog Shire Council is currently inviting expressions of interest from locals to join the James Theatre Section 355 Committee, with one position available for a four-year term.
The historic James Theatre has been bringing the community together for generations.
“From movie nights to performances and special events, it continues to be a vibrant part of life in Dungog, thanks to the passion and dedication of local volunteers who help keep it thriving,” Council said in a statement.
“We’d love to hear from residents of all ages, skills and backgrounds.
“Whether you’re passionate about arts and culture or simply keen to support a much-loved local venue, joining the committee is a great way to get involved and help shape the theatre’s future.”
Those interested in joining the James Theatre Section 355 Committee can find application forms and more information on Council’s website.
Applications close 20 March 2026.
The Gresford School of Arts Hall will hold its Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 17 March and everyone in the community is welcome to attend.
The hall has long been at the centre of community life in Gresford, hosting events, celebrations and gatherings throughout the year.
“Like many local facilities, it continues to thrive thanks to the people who care about it and step up to support it,” Council said.
“If you’ve attended an event, hired the hall, or simply value having this important community space in Gresford, the AGM is a great opportunity to get involved and help guide its future.
“New faces and fresh ideas are always welcome.”
