Why Hasn’t My Event Appeared in the Diary?

If your event has not been approved there are a few things to check.

Did you follow the Guidelines & provide all the required information as text for each event? 

The details required 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 
5: Entry Contact Details - *Required (A contact phone number &/or an Email MUST be included).
6: Why the Event is Eligible - *Required 
7: Admin Email. This is for confirmation but will be used as Entry Contact if no other contact details are provided.

The events details are needed as text to allow us to copy & paste into the calendar.
Screen shots or images are not text, therefore unacceptable & the event will be rejected.

Event Details Summary
There is no need to post the entire event schedule, classes, etc in the diary as this can be included as a download. Ensure that the basic information is included in the summary up to a maximum of 1500 characters.

Was the Event Commercial? 
Commercial Events must have a corresponding Standard Listing in the NFED Services Directory. 
A commercial event is any event or series including shows, competitions & clinics run by a commercial venue, individual or entity as part of their business or for profit. 

Commercial venues include: equestrian centres, livery yards, cross country courses, etc, that hold or host equestrian events as part of their business.

Mixed Events: If the event contains both open & commercial events, the commercial event will take precedence, the commercial event rules will apply.

What is a Standard Directory Listing?
A Standard Listing in the NFED Services Directory will give you full use of the event diary whilst helping us to provide this service. 

Each event will link to your listing to provide further information. Prices start at £3.00 per month with subscribe & save, Click Here for details.

Note: There is a half price Economy Listing option for those that wish to advertise services without the extras. Commercial events are NOT included with an Economy Listing or Classified Ads.

The Venue has a listing, how do I know if it qualifies? #freecommercial
Venues that qualify for commercial events are marked with #freecommercial. This means that commercial events held at that venue can be advertised in the NFED diary. Searching the directory for #freecommercial will list all of the venues or Click Here

I don’t want a Directory Listing.
Sorry, but we can no longer afford to cover the costs of commercial events, they will not be accepted without a Standard Listing in the NFED Services Directory.

A Standard Directory Listing costs only £3.00 per month & will help us to keep the NFED online, whilst giving you free commercial events & advertising for your business or venue.

Regularly Ignoring Guidelines
The Event Diary, takes a great deal of time & effort to run. If guidelines are regularly ignored or commercial aspects of the event not included to avoid payment, this obviously wastes our time & puts the whole event diary at risk. Therefore, further event submissions from the same person may not be accepted.
