Welcome to the Frances Folk Gathering!
Our Website is Back to Normal!
After lots (and lots!) of scurrying, panicking, hear-tearing and emailing we have recovered from our host server's meltdown of last month. We are now hosted with a new company and - while this will make no functional difference to you, dear user - it makes heaps of difference to our reliability and performance. All functionality has been restored including the mailing list, competition entries, workshops enquiries and the main site itself.
"All" that is, except the photo gallery. We are taking this opportunity to upgrade how we manage the photos of you all having a great time, to make the photos easier to see, set into albums and also to make it easier for you to show us your own photographic skills!
The facility will be launched soon ("real soon now"). We'll let you know when it's ready. (We'll also announce it in the newsletter - you are subscribed aren't you...)
Keep an eye out here for further news.
Competitions are filling Fast!
Some categories are full. But, more importantly, some aren't! Jump in now and have a look. Over there... on the left, click "Enter the Competitions".
If your chosen category is full, come and see us on the Saturday morning and put yourself on the waiting list. Most times, people on the waiting list do stand a chance.Desperately Seeking Helpers!
We really (really!) need helpers for our great little Gathering, particularly on the Friday befopre and the Monday following the Gathering. There are lots of things we know you are good at - from putting out chairs to mixing sound - and everything in between! Please get in touch with us via the Contact Page if you think you can give us a hand.
Hope you're ready for the 2012 event! The dates are February 24th, 25th and 26th, 2012.
Those who have been to the Frances Folk Gathering before will already have a good idea of what it's all about.
For those of you who haven't, browse around in our site and discover the fun and camaraderie that infects this part of Australia in late February every year.
Discover how the tiny village of Frances in South Australia's South East opens its hearts to visiting folkies from all parts of South Australia, Victoria and beyond, for a fun-filled weekend of music, merriment, dance, competitions, concerts, workshops and much, much more.
