Thread Name: Does the EFDSS need a new name/logo
Subject: RE: Does the EFDSS need a new name/logo
The 'other stuff' is the EFDSS attempting to increase income by letting C#H. Currently they haven't enough income to employ staff to run events regionally although there are individual projects in different parts of the country which are being funded by the lottery money. Of course these are mainly educational. Some of our most esteemed festivals were started by EFDSS. Their main current function, a very important one, is seen as the main repository for English folk archive, and the making available of that material to the world. In that case they are doing an excellent job.
The Annual Journal is a highly acclaimed publication.
As I said in my case I get plenty from it and I'm pleased to be able to contribute. I live marginally further away from C#H than Keith, but I at least have sons in London which helps.
