Subject: RE: 'Folk Club Forum' at Sidmouth Festival
Does this include running new folk dance clubs or is it aimed solely at music and song events?

There has been some debate about folk dance clubs dying out - some events locally that have run for 40 years have closed and others are going to close.

There are a few new clubs (I help to run one of them near Sidmouth) but the average age of attendees across the country is hardly inspiring.

The only place I have danced with a large number of competent youngsters is IVFDF.
