For various reasons we've been a bit quite during the past few months, but we're back now and better than ever! First up we've a new website which not only lists our activities, but offers three great opportunities for you to promote your own events, gigs, products or services as long as they relate to the Folk Arts that is!  Here's a quick break down: Community News Our news section features your press releases on the site's home page and can include a small graphic.  You can post as many as you like and remove them when no-longer relevant. Events Calendar Another great way of promoting your folk events so list your gigs, workshops, festivals etc. here.  Folk Market You can sell anything here provided it is in keeping with the site.  You can either auction or set a fixed price.  Very easy to use and it will let you use your Paypal account if you have one. Melodeon Workshop I got one of these noisy boxes for Christmas and am now an addict!  Unfortunately most people tend to leave the room when I'm playing so Bryan Dawson from dance band, Double Capers, has kindly agreed to run a workshop for us.  It takes place on Saturday, 19th March 2011 10.30 p.m. to 4.00 p.m.  Cost £25 including a light lunch.  Places limited to 10 and 4 have all ready been taken.  You'll find all details on the website, but please pass on to any one you think might be interested. <a href="http://folkonthefarm.co.uk/workshops">http://folkonthefarm.co.uk/workshops</a> Advance Notice The marquee will be coming out again this summer!  Please keep Friday, 22nd July free as our resident band, Calling Time, will be hosting a special fest type gig on the field to raise funds for our local nature reserve.  Still at the planning stage, but watch this space! Whoops! Nearly forgot, here's the link to the new site: <a href="http://www.folkonthefarm.co.uk">http://www.folkonthefarm.co.uk</a> Best wishes, Sue P.S.  Please forward this newsletter on to anyone who you think might be interested!
