All BCA members are welcome to "drop-in" for Morning Coffee or Afternoon Tea.

Thank you to those of you, who have renewed your BCA membership for 2012.
Our New Treasurer Eva Vowden Gille has informed me that some Members have forgotten to write their names on the Plusgiro Payment slips! So if you have not yet received the Spring Bulletin, please send me a message.
Thank you also to all the members, who attended the BCA AGM on Friday 17th February 2012. We are very grateful to former Chairman Erik Durrant and former Treasurer Tom Sharples for all their dedicated hard work for the BCA from 2010 to 2012. A BIG THANK YOU!!
The Spring Programme for 2012, the Minutes of the BCA AGM 2012 and the Chairman's report for 2011 have all now been inserted onto the BCA website by our Website Manager. You will find them on the Bulletins page and on the Committee page.
The BCA Committee intends to contact the majority of members through this site.
The e-mail addresses given on the BCA website appear rather strange
(AT instead of @, for example) but this is to stop various automatic programmes
from snapping up the published addresses and sabotaging them!
