Dear BEC Member,
In celebration of 70 years of the Bristol
Exploration Club there is to be a BBQ at The Belfry on July 9th 2005 and all
members are welcome. There will be the usual refreshments i.e. barrel(s) and it
is hoped that there will be several exhibits detailing the past history of the
club and its members. We have found a supplier of tankards who is offering free
engraving including a motto. T shirts, etc. are also available (contact Tyrone
Bevan).
Although it is a month earlier than
required it is the time of year when consideration must be given to next years
committee. Nominations should have a proposer and be seconded. It is vitally
important that the person nominated wants to serve the committee and doesnât
decide to drop out within a couple of months. This is an unfair burden on the
remaining committee who have to carry out extra duties to compensate. It should
be stressed, once again that nominees stand for committee and not individual
posts. Nominations should reach the Honorary Secretary by the end of the first
week of September at the address in the letter.
June 2005 – from Vince Simmonds, Hon
Secretary – be sent to all members.
