Thank you Jane!
Apologies all; I would usually broadcast the minutes myself, but workload has been a little challenging over the past month.
Although I think Jane must have enjoyed the AGM minutes so much she has linked to them instead... the October Council meeting minutes are here:

The next BCA Council meeting is Saturday 11th January, Chaddesley Corbett Village Hall (DY10 4QA) 10:30am. Although this is a Council meeting, we welcome any members who are interested to see what happens. The agenda and reports should be available to download from our website before Christmas (by which time we also hope to be able to share the results of the ballot).
