NAFAS Renewal Plan FAQs 20 Jan 26 - FINAL_Page_1.jpg

Board statement and FAQs from NAFAS HQ

Following these updates being circulated to Clubs, please also find copies of them here. These are the latest updates from the NAFAS Board of Trustees about the proposed changes to how NAFAS will work in the future. All the feedback and views passed to the Board by Area Chairmen and Clubs have been taken on board and the response to these will form part of a 'Renewal Programme'. This is being put in place to deal with the changing landscape and challenges facing the NAFAS organisation now and in the short and medium term.

Gloria Goodley, the East of England Area Chairman, is keen for members of all Clubs in the Area to have sight of the two documents: a Board statement and a set of frequently asked questions (FAQs).

To allow Gloria to prepare for a meeting with the Trustees and Area Chairmen towards the end of February, please email any questions or comments you have to Gloria or Sue Cooper before 18th February. Alternatively you can use the 'Contact Us' facility on the website.

NAFAS East of England Area leaflet
Many members who attended the Anniversary Show at Hunstanton may have seen a new Area leaflet that's been produced giving details of our Area with a list of all our Clubs within each of our five Groups.

The leaflet has been designed for the Area to share with potential members and members of the public to provide the information they might need to find one of our Clubs. It went down well with members of the public at the Show.

The leaflet comprises a summary of the Area, the Area's QR code to give easy access to the NAFAS-east website, the NAFAS vision, mission and values, what we do and some important contacts. The list of the Area's Clubs can be seen once the leaflet's opened up.

Copies of this leaflet will be available at the next Area Day on Saturday 13th July at Isleham and it's suggested that the five Group chairmen take a number of copies to share amongst their clubs. They can then share locally to help with their advertising.

If you want to see the leaflet in the meantime, a pdf copy is included in this section. You just need a little imagination that when its printed out and folded, it makes sense :-)
