BBE announces training and networking schedule

There is an extensive schedule of training and networking events that can be accessed by bands this Autumn from Brass Bands England.

Brass Bands England has announced an extensive schedule of training and networking events for the Autumn, through to the end of 2022.

The varied programme includes free and discounted training for bands and individuals who are members of the organisation. Events include a series of webinars, drop-in and networking sessions, as well as in-depth training sessions on Safeguarding and Band Governance.

All 'Crowdfunding' events and 'First Steps for New Starters' drop-in sessions will be free for all to access.

Brass Bands England Members enjoy free access to all Webinars and Drop-In Sessions, discounted rates for BandSafe safeguarding training and exclusive access to Band Governance Bootcamp.

Book

Attendance of certain events is limited so early booking is advised.

BBE's Education & Development Manager, Sarah Baumann told 4BR: "We've been delighted at the 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."

Ideal opportunities

Sarah added: "We're delighted to welcome the Association of Brass Band Adjudicators to this term's events calendar with an insightful session on adjudication.

The Brass Band Conference is also the ideal opportunity to network in person with brass banders from across the country, and we are 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
