BCA AGM Vacant posts open to nominations from the floor

BCA currently functions with assistance from three paid part-time staff which is most appreciated but largely operates with the goodwill of volunteers. In the event that we do not recruit to some of the current vacancies, it is likely we shall need to consider more paid staff for some of those positions with an attendant increase in costs which will end up being passed on to the membership and a corresponding increase in subscriptions.

The following positions will be vacant at the time of the AGM on Sunday 11th June 2023 at 10.30 am and open to nominations from the floor.
