Thread Name: EFDSS sacking of Nick Hallam - wtf?
Subject: RE: EFDSS sacking of Nick Hallam - wtf?
I am not out of touch, I have been asking questions which ought to be answered, what was the reason for his sacking?
my other post asked what does the society intend to do about the library?how does the society intend to deal with the library re expansion .
Anahata[treewind] and Tim Radford, before you jump down my throat read my posts carefully.
THE EFDSS has become less relevant than it was in the 1950/1960/1970, because it no longer organises festivals, because it has closed its shop, because it no longer has the network of branches that it used to
many folk clubs are now organised without any affiliation to the EFDSS, the only society/group organising tuition on a national basis is Comhaltas.
this is not EFDSS bashing but stating facts, EFDSS is handicapped by not receiving the same funding as Comhaltas, but its present situation is partly due to previous poor management, for example Comhaltas is run in a more business like manner, their fleadhs and exams and competitions generate a lot of income, these are all facts.
