Arts groups in Didcot are looking for two figureheads.

Someone is needed to become director of the town's annual arts festival.

Didcot Arts Forum -- an umbrella organisation which distributes £6,500 funding from the town council -- also needs a new chairman, as Andrew Walker is standing down at the annual meeting.

Arrangements for the arts festival, which is due to take place from October 11 to November 24, are already in hand,

But Didcot Arts Forum vice-chariman Jenny Kuca said the annual meeting was an opportunity for organisations to come forward with ideas for the programme.

The meeting was due to take place next Thursday, but has been postponed until Tuesday, May 7.

It will be held at 8pm at St Birinus School. Potential candidates are welcome to attend.

Mr Walker, who is head of performing arts at St Birinus, said he was seeking a successor so that he could concentrate on other commitments.
