Benefits of Membership

ADVICE SERVICE

This is available at National and Area or Divisional/District levels, providing free expert advice and information on all issues relating to festival organisation and participation as well as information regarding drama production and participation in your own location.

NEWSLETTER

A newsletter is distributed twice yearly to keep all informed of what is going on both within the organisation and the festival scene in general. This is supported by a website which is regularly updated with current views, dates of events and results and an Annual Brochure giving a complete listing of members' festivals and contacts. Finally, an Annual Report is available which consolidates the end product of the year's efforts.

CONFERENCE AND WORKSHOPS

These are organised and participated in as and when required.
