Anyone who isn't a member of EFDSS really should consider joining. To be frank it's an organisation which I used to have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about. That's because I remember the bad old days when it was totally south east oriented (I'm in the north west), totally dance oriented (I'm into song), totally geriatric, and which published hardly anything worth getting out of bed for.

Let's pull a blind over that lot. Let's instead be thankful for a flourishing library, which seems to sprout fresh and fascinating Internet projects faster than I can log onto them; for the range of excellent EFDSS publications which have emerged this last few years; and for the fact that we at last have a quarterly magazine which is a pleasure to read.
