Welcome to the Noda Page
The National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA), founded in 1899, is the main representative body for amateur theatre in the UK. It has a membership of some 2500 amateur/community theatre groups and 3000 individual enthusiasts throughout the UK, staging musicals, operas, plays, concerts and pantomimes in a wide variety of performing venues, ranging from the country's leading professional theatres to village halls. Members have access to a wide range of benefits.
NODA is divided into eleven national Regions , each headed by an Region Councillor who sits on the Council (the ruling body of the Association), supported by a network of Regional Representatives and other volunteers.
We are in the West Midlands Area, Region 10.
Our Regional Councillor is TONY DERBYSHIRE

Long Service Awards
The most highly prized award in the world of Amateur Theatre is undoubtedly the NODA Long Service Medal, signifying 25 years active and unpaid service to the amateur movement, on stage or off. Every 5 years thereafter, provided you remain in active service, you become eligible for an additional Silver Bar to the medal, culminating after 50 years service with the Gold Bar, and after 60 years with the most prestigious award of all, the Diamond Bar.The Medals and Bars, as well as Badges signifying 10, 15, 20 and 25 years of service and Pins signifying 55, 65 and 70 years of service from eleven years of age are available but the application must be supported by confirmatory evidence from an official of your Society.
The service does not have to be continuous, nor does it have to be with one Society alone, but the necessary official evidence of active unpaid service over the appropriate number of years must be provided.
