 At the Society's AGM on Tuesday April 7 2009 Robin Green was elected as the new Chairman of the Deal Society. When Robin lived in London he fought a 4 year battle against the destruction of a historic part of south west London by property developers. He is passionate about the protection of our historic and natural environment and for the last year has been the Chair of the Society's Planning,Conservation and Development Committee. In that year he has helped to formulate the Society's response to the Local Development Framework, the future of the Astor Theatre and the blight that would be caused by the Minters Yard development. He has also served as a coopted member of the Deal Town Council Planning Committee.
At the same meeting Carol Burns was elected as the Secretary and David Bridgen as the Treasurer. Until her recent retirement Carol was the secretary to a special needs school in south east London for 25 years. She has now moved permanently to Deal where she and her husband had a holiday home for 10 years. David is an East Kent business man and has organised the Society's lecture programme for the last year,a task which he has agreed to continue as well as looking after the Society's finances.
At the AGM Robin Green paid tribute to the retiring Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer speaking about their exceptional gifts that they had put to the service of the Society.

 The Society's sub committee has been active throughout 2008 taking up issues of concern to members and people in Deal. Throughout the summer we focussed on the future of the Astor Theatre insisting that it had to be professionally run and that the building was conserved for the future. We were delighted in the early autumn when Deal Town Council agreed to hand the management responsibility to the Deal Arts Management Group. We look forward to the reopening of the theatre in 2009.

The Deal Society has made a substantial contribution to the consultation about the Local Development Framework for the period 2010/2026.
The document, which is 6 pages, can be  downloaded from here 61.83 Kb.
The group who prepared the document had major reservations about the consultation documents, especially in relation to the physical and social infrastructure of the town. It is not clear that there is any long term strategy for the improvemenet of the town's infrastructure. The response argues that there must be an overall plan in order to sustain job creation and any further housing and commercial development.
