Cornwall & Devon news Since 21 Aug newsletter - included in Sept issue
I am sorry to have to report the passing of Mike Walford, FolkLife Kernow Reporter, who died suddenly on 6 Sept. Our deepest sympathy to Janet.
Mike’s contributions to Folklife West, as our Cornish correspondent, were much appreciated. He was a tremendous supporter and promoter of folk music in Cornwall and the wider world, including the Cornwall Folk Festival, Wadebridge Folk Club, and the various clubs and sessions in which he was involved. We will miss him.
Ø Cornwall. Zoom: BODMIN FOLK CLUB Virtual Open House, every Friday, 8pm – 10.30pm. Email bodminfolk<at>yahoo.com for details. www.bodminfolk.co.uk
Ø Devon. SHAMMICK ACOUSTIC concerts, Combe Martin, are closing. Full details see news pages. Barbara writes: due to continuing ill health on my and Tom’s parts, the club will not be reopening next year. We’ll try to have a get-together when the C-19 problems are over, but otherwise, that is the end of a wonderful eighteen years of Shammick Acoustic. Thanks to all of you who have supported it over the years. But it’s not the end of the music - keep playing, singing and listening! Very best wishes to you all, and we’ll hope to meet up somewhere along the road. Tom & Barbara Brown

Your news & listings, copied to www.folklife.uk, arranged by area webpages; some more out-of-area interest, so some changes:
- "OUR usual AREA" (Wales, England West Country, West Midlands), we've placed Oxfordshire under South-East instead of Midlands, otherwise no change. POLICY: in our area, news only from our members. Exceptionally, Zoom session details from non-members.
- "OTHER AREAS": as previously mentioned, we started splitting our "Other Areas" webpage into 3 webpages: South-East; East Midlands & North.

POLICY 2020 Sep-Dec, due to shutdown, some spare space, so we'll include news from others (non-members) outside "our area", IF signed up to our Newsletters. This will apply until at least December.
- Virtual-Folk webpage These Zoom listings are now copied to your area webpages as well !

Folklife magazine has been growing about 4 pages a year, 64 A4 pages last time.
We've produced this free online issue . . . but have lost substantial festival advertising revenue.
With recurring costs (websites, domains, email, recent repairs & upgrades for computers & software), we are losing even more money than usual !
We can publicise you, our members.
We can keep going because of your support via our membership scheme, but would appreciate your help at this difficult time for the magazine.
So some modest requests:
(1) although this issue is not printed, we will still ask you to renew membership when it's due, for the next 3 printed issues - not counting this free online-only issue, so will be for 1 year + 4 months
(2) non-members who appreciate what we do are asked to consider joining (£16 a year).
(3) please please tell your friends!
