We will update the Friday Folk website and send you another email when this situation changes. I am sure you will understand the reasons for this. Please take care of yourself and try to help anyone in the dancing community who may be isolated or in need of assistance.

I am sending this email to let you know about our plans for Friday Folk members to keep in touch during the coming weeks. The main platform for day-to-day communication will be WhatsApp. Jane has offered to set up a WhatsApp group for this. To join, you need to install WhatsApp on your mobile phone and email your phone number to her at jane2.johnson at btinternet.com. Jane will then add you to the group. The group is open to anyone who attends Friday Folk and is intended for general chat. Please note that your mobile number will be available to other members of the group and that Facebook who own WhatsApp may collect data about you. So make sure you are happy with using this form of communication. Many members use it already and we would enjoy keeping in touch with you in this way. If you are having any particular problems, either now or in the future, you probably don't want to broadcast this to everyone in the group. If so, please send a private message to one of the Friday Folk committee members or send an email to info at fridayfolk.org.uk. We will do our best to help with whatever is necessary, such as food delivery and practical support. Wishing you well during these difficult times.

I hope you are keeping safe and well. While there is no dancing taking place, Friday Folk members have been keeping in touch via WhatsApp and weekly Zoom meetings. It's mainly  general chat, but please let us know if you are facing any particular difficulties and we will try to help. This email is to inform you that the Friday Folk AGM will take place online on Friday 18 September at 20:00. The agenda will include the previous minutes, Chairman's report, Treasurer's Report, and election of officers. There are normally 8 committee positions and 8 candidates have already indicated they are willing to stand. If anyone else would like to stand, please let us know immediately. If you would like to take part in the AGM, please reply to request an AGM information pack. This will include details of how to access the online meeting and copies of the documents. You can vote during the AGM in one of two ways - either by joining the online meeting and voting directly, or by appointing another member at the meeting to act as your proxy. You can tell the proxy how you want to vote or leave it to their discretion. It will probably simplify things if you appoint the chair of the meeting to be your proxy. After the AGM is completed there will be an open discussion on future activities of the club. I look forward to seeing you soon online.
