"EFDSS Lost the plot? how have they lost it?"
Sorry member
If you don't know I don't know I can tell you
There has always been an imbalance between Dance and song - the latter seems to have disappeared from the agenda complete apart from a choir (just checked)
The Library never had the space to cater for the books it held thirty years ago when I was actively working to support it - now I know it has been turning down major collections because of lack of space
The listening facilities always poor and uncomfortable - are now non -existent
The website is poor
I suppose the Cellar Club is still in existence - last time we were there it was full of 'singers' reading their songs from I-phones   
I worked wit Malcolm for a while helping to produce cassette albums of field recordings - half a dozen great albums -
The project was abandoned and all the albums lost
Is there a shop - there wasn't lat time I was there?
Does EFDSS promote anything but dancing?
What exactly is it doing to promote folk song, music and dance proper?
What is it doing to promote song and music outside London?
How much of their holdings have gone on line?

The ray of hope was when the plan was mooted to sell The House and move into somewhere more user-friendly - kicked to death by neanderthals

Apart from that, I can't think of anything!!
