BBE Autumn Programme Released
Brass Bands England has announced its line-up of training and networking events for the Autumn, through to the end of 2022. The busy schedule sees a varied programme, which includes free and discounted training for bands and individuals who are members of BBE. Events include a series of webinars, drop-in and networking sessions and in-depth training sessions on the topics of Safeguarding and Band Governance.
Every term BBE offers some training events and webinars absolutely free for everyone, including non-members. This time, all Crowdfunding events and First Steps for New Starters drop-in sessions will be free for all to access. Brass Bands England Members have some excellent benefits for the events series, with access to all Webinars and Drop-In Sessions free of charge, discounted rates for BandSafe safeguarding training and exclusive access to Band Governance Bootcamp.
BBE’s Education and Development Manager, Sarah Baumann, commented: “We’ve been delighted at the ongoing excellent attendance at the virtual events across the last year, and want to continue offering a wide range of training and networking sessions suitable for all our members. Fundraising, band governance and youth support continue to be the most requested topics from members so we’ve given them high-priority across this term. We’re delighted to welcome the Association of Brass Band Adjudicators to this term’s events calendar with an insightful session on adjudication - ideal for anyone considering taking steps to becoming an adjudicator themselves! The Brass Band Conference is the ideal opportunity to network in person with brass banders from across the country, and I am thrilled that this event will be in-person once again. We’ve already started planning for our Spring 2023 events, and as always, we want to hear from our members as to what topics they would like to see programmed.”
Any topics you would like to see featured in future events or members resources can be suggested via email to events@bbe.org.uk. Attendance of certain events is limited so booking early is advised.
