I joined the EFDSS a couple of years ago and wanting to give something back I immediately offered my services as a Motion and Graphic Designer free of charge. I even offered to start digitising the library free of charge whilst running my own business so it could be made available online to the everyone for nothing, getting the music out there to the people.

In the end, no-one was really interested so I gave up. I can't afford the membership at the moment and it's all in London anyway which makes it more or less irrelevant to us hayseeds out here in the sticks hundreds of miles away who don't have the bunce to make the trip to CSH or the smoke.

Anyway - best of luck to the Society, and the magazine was excellent as were the journals and the new national strategy sounds like a good idea.
