To all Members from the President (10 September
2002)
I am taking this opportunity to update you of several issues
emerging within the remit of the Society. The Society website
has been relaunched in a fully revised form - please visit
it regularly to keep up to date with Society business and
important announcements such as meeting dates and abstract
submission deadlines. The address is www.bts.org.uk. The website
offers a lot of information about the Society and its activities
and I would welcome comment on other facilities, which would
be useful. Please email me at president@bts.org.uk.

Incorporation of the
Society
The Executive has now progressed towards
incorporating the Society as a non-profit making company in
England & Wales as mandated at the 2000 Society AGM. Since
the decision to incorporate was made over two years ago, the
Executive has decided to draw your attention to the significant
changes which will have to occur to allow incorporation. These
changes are mostly dictated by the incorporation process and
will be enacted following professional advice from our Secretariat,
Triangle 3, and following extensive discussion over a two
day period at a recent Executive meeting. More...
