We are supporting our Folklife Members who support Folklife (£16 a year, since you ask).
With recurring fixed costs (upgrades for computers & software; fees for websites, domains, email) and no income from printed magazine, we are losing even more money than usual ! Therefore, only information from our supportive Members is publicised. Exceptionally . . . for Zoom sessions only, we now list others who have signed up for our NEWSLETTER mailing list, free New Members info published in Newsletter, and in Directory pages folklife-directory.uk Sept also online; subscriptions & adverts will be extended, free, again |
