Boston Recorder Society

Event Calendar Policy

What events can I enter?

You can enter any event that you think would be of interest to Boston, Massachusetts, area recorder players and other members of the Greater Boston early music community. The event should take place within the New England states or Eastern New York State.

The events should be open to the public. Descriptions should include any charges or other requirements for attendance.

As always on a publicly accessible site, descriptions should avoid language or images that other people may find offensive. If the event is not avoiding such material, you may wish to indicate this in the description. For instance, you may wish to say "Bawdy songs of the 17th century", but not to include lyrics in your description that you wouldn't enjoy explaining to a 7 year old.

What category should my event be under?

• Concert. In general anything where attendees will be watching and/or listening to the performers.
• Playing, singing, or dancing opportunity. At this kind of event, attendees will be expected to participate rather than just watching or listening.
• Course or workshop. The date listed for this type of event might be the start of the course, or the registration deadline. That is, if you are giving a 10 week course, and expect people to sign up and pay for the whole course and not to come to individual meetings, you would not enter the individual meetings separately.

Do events have to be approved by the calendar administrator?

To make it easy for people to use this calendar, we currently do not require an event to be approved before it goes up for the general public to see. However the calendar is closely monitored by an administrator, and anything obviously inappropriate will be promptly removed.

What if a calendar entry needs to be revised? What if I notice an entry that does not match the stated policies of the site? Who should I tell?

We appreciate your input and will be glad to help correct any problem. Please send an email to the calendar administrator.

I love this calendar -- how do I support it?
