SOCIETY VACANCIES Would you like to join our friendly PRS team? We are looking for a Membership Secretary. The post-holder maintains the PRS’s membership records showing members’ status, address details etc using Microsoft Word and Excel spreadsheets; monitors and invites membership subscriptions by issuing annual renewal and reminder notices; receives and records new member applications; banks subscription cheques; and responds to membership queries via email. You will provide the Mailing Coordinator with new members’ details and with an up-to-date membership list prior to the issue of the PRS Review thrice-yearly. (The Mailing Coordinator issues a Welcome Pack to new members in addition to sending out the Review.) You will liaise with the PRS Treasurer about membership subscriptions. The PRS Constitution requires the Membership Secretary to be eighteen years old or over, and to be resident in the UK. Ideally you should attend the five Committee meetings and the PRS AGM, held in Birmingham, each year. Stationery and postage expenses are refunded. To make an enquiry or to discuss the duties of either role more fully, please contact: Patricia O’Connor by email: patriciao_connor@yahoo.co.uk Applications including curriculum vitae by email: patriciao_connor@yahoo.co.uk

Simeon Solomon 'Special Issue' of the PRS Review in 2020!
PRS Reviews in 2019Our new PRS Editor, Katja Robinson, has produced three wonderful issues of the PRS Review in 2019. This year Katja has brought a new look to the Review including with full colour covers and many colour images inside. In the Spring we reproduced and celebrated the essays and poetry of our John Pickard Essay Prize & PRS Poetry Prize winners alongside book and exhibition reviews. The Summer issue saw essays on Edward Burne-Jones, Christina Rossetti and Dante Gabriel Rossetti and others, as well as a new feature called 'Gallery Focus'. Autumn's edition produced essays on Evelyn De Morgan, the Marchmont Mural Cycle and Pre-Raphaelite Muses and included poetry and another 'Gallery Focus', this time on the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. 2020 promises to be another great year for the PRS, so if you haven't renewed your membership yet, you can do so on this website HERE - and for those of you who are considering membership, go to our membership pages HERE.
