The BULLETIN BOARD page.
A place for extra information, linking from other pages. Somewhere for images / posters / full programmes and dates / news and announcements from SEFAN and the membership etc.


E-SERVICES:

When you first join, a welcome and introduction is sent to the existing membership so that they know who you are and what you do. Then you'll start to receive regular SEFAN Bulletins ...

The EMAIL BULLETINS.  
Information from members goes out to the whole membership ... 

  • Gig and workshop ANNOUNCEMENTS from within the Network only. 
    Members are asked to further disseminate information where they think appropriate - which is great for reaching new people.

Group A subscribers' announcements may be 'bundled' with others (usually no more than three announcements per Bulletin email) in order to reduce overall email traffic. Text only with no attachements.
Group B subscribers are entitled to stand-alone e-bulletin with small attachements (.jpgs) allowed.

  • Information and advice sharing.
  • Job and gigging opportunities.
  • The SEFAN 'GLEANINGS' service: E-Digests and bulletins from VAN / Arts Council England's ArtsNews and ArtsJobs / DSC / Cultural Diversity South East / Artsadmin / All Ways Learning etc. stripped out for content pertinent to our Traditional Arts interests: important voluntary sector information: funding sources: job opportunities etc. So you don't have to receive and read them all yourself - we do it for you!

SEFAN does not have a chat-room or an e-group where members post direct.


Networking and Collaboration.

  • Help and advice on all topics regarding the sector.
  • Help and advice with funding applications. (including a one-to-one surgery session on a specific application if required).
  • Opportunities for involvement in suitable upcoming projects.

SEFAN resource library. Plus access to SEFAN-ONLY information not posted on the website (see information lists)
