Malcolm Douglassays he doesnt think its EFDSS role to do this, what is their role/ is it solely to run a saturday night dance club and a tuedsay folk song club.Ithink they should be pressurising this government to at the very least reintroduce folk song in primary schools through the reintroduction of national folk song book, and country dancing . Brian Peters says I doubt if they have the money, if thats the case they should get off their backsides and have a recruitment drive,, and members should be standing up at the annual general meeting and asking why isnt their the money for these ideas.and what is membership money being used for. if COMHALTAS can do it in Ireland with a population of four million and englands population is 50 million, what are EFDSS doing . they are supposed to be the english folk dance and song society, if it s not their job whose job is it, its not the international concertina association s job, nor is it the job of the royal preservation of english monuments.
