Welcome to the April 2011 edition of the BCC ENews. With the end of the club season approaching it’s time to remind ourselves that the AGM is approaching, so nominations for committee members are needed as several existing committee members are standing down. So if you would like to get more involved with the running of the club and help shape it’s future, or would like to help re-organise something you think needs changing, do complete the nominations form for the new committee.

Any proposals for discussion at the AGM should also be sent to the club secretary as soon as possible. Don’t forget this is the only chance for the next 12 months to change things.

The Exhibition Opening will also take place shortly, on April 28th, and Sandra needs help with catering for the evening, so if you can help by bringing along some nibbles on the night please let her know. And whilst talking about the Exhibition we must offer a big vote of thanks to Steve Bright for all his hard work on the exhibition site - a most impressive job, so well done Steve!!
