MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Nathan Hempsey
Chairman Coulsdon and Purley Festival |
The 77th Coulsdon and Purley Festival was a great success thanks to you, the entrants, the parents of the junior entrants, the adjudicators, the section secretaries, the helpers, the technical helpers, the automation helpers, our sponsor, our advertisers, our organiser, our advertising manager, our auditor, our printer and our treasurer. It has been a truly collaborative effort. I hope this experience has been helpful to the entrants, especially those who will be submitting video entries to the various examination boards. |
We have had some firsts this year:
This was the first totally virtual Festival. We all had to learn new skills using Zoom, videoing performances, uploading videos, YouTube streaming, coordinating everything and adjudicating in as near real time as we could make it. We even learnt to master the Zoom mute button!
This has been our first automated entry Festival. In prior years we printed off a syllabus, entrants had to download an entry form which had to be filled in by hand and posted along with a cheque. This year the syllabus was automated and entrants were able to complete their forms and submit them on-line through 'Run my Festival'.
We have been able to accept PayPal for the first time this year instead of paying cheques received by mail.
Thanks to all of you, we managed to do all of those things successfully.
I hope we can get back to normal face to face entries next year. In any event I am confident that the Coulsdon and Purley Festival is ready to deal with any eventuality.
Warm regards
Nathan Hempsey
