The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Edinburgh Folk Club, (EFC) will take place this Wednesday when new office bearers will take over running the club.

The meeting will be held at 8.00pm on Wednesday 11 September 2024 at the Ukrainian Community Centre, 14 Royal Terrace, Edinburgh EH7 5AB.

The club elected a new committee earlier this year after the old committee decided to step down and allow some “new blood” to take over. There was a real threat of the club being wound up – or amalgamating with Leith Folk Club which had been discussed informally. The committee resigned as they had “long years of service” and they recognised that new people might be able to secure the viability of the club.
