The Association is a registered charity, has its headquarters in Peterborough, and is proud to have The Lord Lloyd-Webber as its Patron.

NODA is governed by a Council comprising one elected Councillor from each of the twelve major Areas into which the Association is divided. Each Area is further divided into Regions, with each having a Regional Representative who together form an Area Committee under the Councillor. Thus NODA reaches out to provide a local and personal service wherever there is an amateur society.

Councillors and Regional Representatives are nominated and elected annually by the members.

The best and most economical way of enjoying all the services offered by the Association is to become a member - at the very reasonable rates of subscription made possible by the large membership.

Most societies agree it is the best investment they ever made - and so it can prove for you!
