Thanks for the long post Robbie, it was very useful for this Yorgo-come-lately. But to move away from written statements and constitutions and onto more practical things: How can the ordinary folkie punter help? OK, become a member is an obvious one, but is that all? Is £33 from each one of us all that is needed to put things onto a proper footing? The majority of English folkies on this board live well outside London, so volunteered time at C#H is not an option for most.

Practical ideas please...
