New BFS website!

Over the past year, we’ve been busy developing a brand new website. We wanted to create something more attractive, easy to use and useful - making it easier to manage membership and access member benefits, showcasing clearly what the BFS does, and providing more resources for members and the wider flute community.

As well as making existing content easier to find, we’ve added lots of new features- for example, an about section explaining what the BFS does and who we are; a resources section with new content like technique videos, a repairer directory and coronavirus resources; and the ability to accept donations, which as a membership charity is an exciting and much-needed step. We’ve also made sure the site is optimised for mobile so it’s just as useful on the go.

We’ve moved to a new membership system, MembershipWorks, which has lots of features to make membership more straightforward, such as auto-renewing payments, a timeline of payment activity, automatic renewal reminders, and a powerful directory search. We’re thrilled to finally be able to share the new website with you, and we welcome your feedback and suggestions - we plan to keep adding to and refining the site, so please do contact us.

Huge thanks are due to everyone who has worked on the website’s design, content and technical development - our Communications and Advertising Manager, Sophie McGrath who led the project, plus the Council, Rachel Shirley, Carla Rees, Nicola Rossiter, David Barton, Kate Hill, Abby Charles, Abbie Burrows, Sophie Hooper, the developers at David & George, Nick Romero, who created the new logo, and Malcolm Pollock, who contributed much of the site photography.
