Getting a message onto the list
Please remember that, for the most part, I'm nothing to do with the organisation of any of these events. I'm passing on information I have in good faith, but cannot be held responsible for any errors. Please check with the event organisers (and I'd appreciate being told about any errors - thanks).
In order for you to subscribe to SaDFolk, I need to store some of your personal data. The bare minimum is your email address and the IP address you used when signing up for the first time. Optionally you can provide your name (most people do this).
This data is stored on the MailChimp system which I use to create and send out the weekly emails. If you want to check on the data, change any of it, or unsubscribe from the service. If you unsubscribe or your email address stops working, after a period of time your data is removed from the system.
How do I subscribe to this list?
Complete the form on the subscribing page.
How often should I get one of these messages?
I normally send out a message once a week, usually on Tuesdays. However, this is not guaranteed. Random events such as holidays can get in the way. I try to remember to warn people if there will be any changes to the schedule.
What’s in the messages?
The messages list all the events (dances, concerts, sessions) for the next seven weeks plus any new entries when ever they’re due. The new stuff is display in red. What’s not listed are regular events, such as weekly or monthly sessions or dance clubs. These can be found here.
I haven't had a message for three weeks - what should I do?
I've got a friend who'd like to get these messages, what should I do?
Tell them about the subscription page.
I don't want to get any more messages, what should I do?
There is a link at the bottom of every email allowing you to unsubscribe. Just click on that and follow the instructions. It would be really nice if you told me why you no longer want the messages.
I'd like you to publicise my barn dance/concert/singaround, what do I do?
Tell me about it (preferably by completing this form). You will need the following information.
Exactly what area do you cover?
As the title says: Somerset and Dorset.
My event is only just over the border into Devon (or Wiltshire, or Hampshire). Please will you list it?
Sorry, but no. In the early days of the service, I did occasionally drift over the borders, but as the number of events covered grew, I found I had to be strict.
I'd like you to tell people about this wonderful jazz concert/pantomime/art exhibition I'm running
Sorry - folk events only. I'm fairly lenient about my definition of 'folk' but I do have to draw the line somewhere.
We've done a really nice poster/flyer/press release as an Adobe PDF file. Should I send it to you?
It is really much easier for me if you use the form on the website. Please remember that SaDFolk is (effectively) a text-only system. So, I’m afraid your loving crafted poster isn’t really much help.
Could you provide a link my web page?
Send me the link and I’ll have a look.
May I post a link to this web site?
Certainly.
Who are you?
Steve Cunio. I live in Montacute, near Yeovil. My primary 'folk' interests these days are singing and calling for barn dances, although I enjoy concerts, sessions, workshops and so on as well (most of the stuff covered by the list, in fact).
