To Submit an Event
The easiest way to submit your event details is to use the submission form - Click Here 

If you prefer, you can Email the details to editor@nfed.co.uk with subject: NFED Event Diary Submission.

The required details are:

1: Event Title - *Required
2: Event Date (dd-mm-yy)  - *Required
3: Event Location - *Required (Include the full address & postcode)
4: Event Details - *Required (See Important below)
5: Entry Contact Details  - *Required (A contact phone number &/or an Email MUST be included). 
6: For Free Commercial Events - Charity Number, Club, or Directory Listing Name.
7: Admin Email. This is for confirmation only.

Important: There is no need to post the entire event timetable, classes, etc as this can be included in the schedule, but our users do rightly expect to find all the information that they require on the NFED & not be sent elsewhere for further details, so ensure that sufficient information is included.
Do not include advertising, show sponsors or links in the event details. Online entry links can be included in the space provided, as long as the full URL is supplied a button will be added.
Emojis will not be used as they are incompatible with the system.

If you don’t yet have all the information, we are happy to list place holders to allow others to organise their dates, but the basic information must still be included. i.e: Date, title, venue, short description & contact details. Further details can be added later when available.

The following can be included or added at a later date.

8: Schedule if available.
9: Entry Form if available.
10: Online Entry Link if available.

Providing all of the above is supplied correctly, the details will normally be added to the calendar within 24-48 hours. Events submitted at short notice (less that 7 days) may not be included or featured.

* If required details are missing, the event will be rejected without notice.

You will be sent an Email containing a link to allow you to share the event directly with friends, clients, members or customers. There is a link to the shopping cart for payment, but this can be ignored for free events.

Only direct, genuine online entry links will be used, other website links are NOT accepted. See below.

Schedules, Entry Forms & Downloads.
To protect the interests of our advertisers & the safety of our users, schedules must be held on our own servers. This allows us to check all downloads for viruses or malware before making them available to the public.

If you use the event submission form the schedule & entry form can be uploaded with the event details, or you can email the documents when available. Please attach to the email, we do not download documents from a link for safety reasons. 

We take great pride in the site & always try to provide quality information. Please send the original documents if possible, we can convert to PDF from most formats & will add a watermark to show where the document came from. Please try to send multi page schedules as one document, if not we will try to combine the pages for you, but this can be time consuming & may cause delays.

Screens shots should be avoided if possible, out of focus uncropped photos will not be used. If you have the original document, please send that, it is far easier all round!

If a schedule is amended, please send over the full replacement & the online version will be exchanged for you. The watermark will show V2, V3, etc & the dated amended.

Online Entries
If you are using a genuine online entry or booking system that allow people to submit entry & pay securely online, a link button will be included, providing the full link to the actual event is supplied. The full URL will include the unique event details.

Don't expect us or our site users to search for the event. www.equo.com, find us on Equo or similar will not be used. Do Not use an online entry link in place of the event details summary, this will not be accepted.

Examples of how the the full URL will look.

https://www.#######.co.uk/ViewEvent/ViewEventDetails/20142

A social media or club events page is not an online entry system, unless submission & payment is accepted.

Finally!
Please help us to help you by supplying all information, checking your spelling & grammar. Running the events section takes a great deal of time; correcting submissions or searching for information just makes it much harder. Not including commercial aspects of the event to avoid payment obviously wastes our time & puts the whole event diary at risk. Therefore, further event submissions from the same person may not be accepted.

Please give as much notice as possible. It is far better to submit the event as soon as you have the date, further details, schedule & online entry links can be added when available. Events submitted at short notice (less that 7 days) may not be included. 

The NFED is a trusted resource, to retain this trust it is very important to keep the calendar up to date. If the details need to be amended or if the event is cancelled, please contact us by Email as soon as possible. Failure to inform us directly of any changes undermines confidence in the diary, undoing our hard work. If this happens regularly, we may reject further events.

We really do appreciate each & every time that someone is pointed towards the NFED or an event is shared. It all helps to keep this unique service online & there for when you need it next.
