Hi everyone,
Our first night 9th January will unfortunately be on Zoom, due to the march of the omicron variant.
We hope we don't have to do more on Zoom! We'll watch the situation closely.
I will send a link just before the evening and hope to see you there. I would love it if some of our more distant singers could come back!
I wish you all a happy new year.

30 October 2021: Covid shutdown --- THE FUTURE OF FOLKLIFE WEST
Before Covid ... amazingly high annual-renewal rates. Sadly, some venues have closed. And some adverts are missing.
This means our losses are more than usual.
In order to be able to continue, we'll make some changes, & avoid price rises!
2022 Folklife West Membership costs.
Before Covid ... Jan 2020 was a record 64 pages.
This issue, 60 pages; of which 15 Journal (normally 8-10), 45 news including listings & ads (in Jan 2020, 53). So maybe 54 to 60 pages in future.
We will save by reducing complimentary copies (we'll contact you if this applies).
Print & post costs up; balanced by saving on comps, & possibly a few less pages: No change to 2022 Membership costs !
2022 Advert costs.
Folk What's On, free leaflet = adverts from FW. Sent only in areas with adverts.
1) some branch libraries. Continuing when councils have agreed to distribute copies sent to library headquarters.
2) TICs, concert venues, etc - changing times, some TICs are reducing displays, and pro rata more expensive to post. So we will stop sending for some TICs.
So, print & post costs up; balanced by reducing circulation (fewer comp. FWs, and quite a few less Folk What's On): No change to 2022 advert costs !
• We're not crowd-funding, we're not asking for large donations, etc.
• If . . . most members renew their membership --- perhaps 2 copies (£22.50 a year) instead of 1?
. . . and if some non-members consider joining (£18),
. . . and maybe some advertise (from 1/8th mono £12) . . . that way we'll continue! 30 October 2021
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To join: £18 a year. Please send by BACS to: Folklife, sort code 09-01-55, account 18675181.
or send us a cheque details Info webpage. EU £27. USA £36. Sterling only. No debit or credit cards.
Also, please use form above, or email 'Opt In' + same info (name; country. or for England, region)
You will receive 1 copy of 3 issues per year,
and for each issue you can send in
------ your folk listings, as in online area Directories
------ your folk news. Word limits apply: 200 words, more if advertising, see below.
Anywhere in the world - £18 for PDF via WeTransfer instead of print version.

Folklife magazine has been growing about 4 pages a year, 64 A4 pages last time fully printed Jan 2020
We've produced free online issues . . . 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) please renew membership when it's due, for the next 3 printed issues (pre-October issues credits for 2020 postponed issues and 2021 smaller issues as appropriate)
(2) non-members who appreciate what we do are asked to consider joining (£18 a year).
(3) please please tell your friends!
