Welcome to the October 2008 edition of the BCC E-News.

COMPETITION SECRETARY POST

This job is becoming busier these days, partly due to the success of the club in attracting some new members, but there are times when Len could do with a bit of help.  This has been ok on a sort of ad-hoc basis, but the Committee feel that it would be better if Len had an official deputy.

So if any member feels that he or she can assist, either with competition nights, or by supporting our “away” competitions please let either Len or Wyn, our President, know, or email one of the committee from the “Contact Us” page on the web site.

We could also use someone who is prepared to learn how to use the digital projector, which would help relieve some of the pressure on Len on Digital Comp evenings, so anyone willing to help out please make themselves known.
