Following the postponement of the last AGM, it has now been rescheduled for next Wednesday, 8 November at 7.30 pm. It will take place at the The Orchard, Drumalee.
It is vitally important that enough people attend to enable us to hold the meeting as the club will not be allowed to continue without an AGM elected committee.
If anyone has any issues please email the Acting Club Secretary at bscsecretary16@gmail.com.
