Dear BCA members,
I am delighted to be able to reach you through our new website. This has taken quite a while to set up but is now functioning largely as planned, though with a few teething problems at the start!
The Committee and I hope to be able to initiate and run a large number of events this autumn and winter, now that we are able to contact a majority of members through this site. We intend to contact those members without internet access by mail, as before. The main reason for the shortage of planned events this spring has been the overwhelming need to concentrate on setting up an easy-to-use web site so as to be able to contact members quickly and easily. We hope this new BCA site will enable us to function much more smoothly in the near future.
We now have some attractive visiting cards - done by Vistaprint at a fantastically good price - which will be distributed at our various events. I hope we will find these a useful means of recruiting new members to the BCA, so please hand them to prospective members. We sometimes bump into ex-pats who are unaware of the BCA's existence and the card might be a way of reaching them and providing information about our organisation.
The next meeting of the Committee is scheduled for 18th August and after that meeting we will publish the events calendar for the autumn. We also hope members will feel able to suggest and help organise smaller events through our website, such as a visit to a special exhibition, a boat trip, a trip to see a film.....
The Krakow Club, our weekly coffee morning/lunch meeting - a forum for general chitchat - continues to meet every Wednesday morning from 10.30 onwards at Sture Konditoriet at the corner of Sturegatan/Karlavägen and all are welcome. For further details, contact me at

I wish all BCA members, on my own behalf and that of the Committee, a very happy continuation of the summer and hope we will soon be meeting each other at one or more of the autumn events.
