MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS
As promised, here is a full list of those who are now members for 2008/09. This includes those who have renewed and those recently joined. The list is correct as of Wednesday 8th October 2008. I will continue to update this list over the coming weeks. If you have sent in your renewal and would have expected it to arrive by the above date yet your name does not appear here, please contact me as a matter of urgency.
Graham Baker, Ian Ball, Robert Banks, Andrew Binns, Bernard Bradley, Adrian Briggs, Jim Briggs, Stuart Briggs, Leigh Butler, Mike Cavanagh, Lee Clissett, Graham Coleman, Phil Cottier, Ian Davies, Charles Dean-Young, Mike Fenton, Cameron Gibson, Martin Gibson, Ray Grace, Ben Griffiths, Graham Hedges, Chris Jarvis, Donald Laisure, Andrew Lovell, Julian Mallia, Lee Mills, Russell Newton, Tim Ockendon, David Parsons, Peter Parsons, Matthew Price, Henry Richardson, Andrew Robson, Norval Scott, Peter Scott, Mark Snow, Lee Sowden, Paul Sutton, Pete Thom, Steve Tonkinson, Tim Vickers, Keith Wickham, Stephen Wilson, Dean Wright, Brian Yates.
It has been particularly good to hear from some of our Honorary Associate members during the renewal process – we often don’t get a lot of contact through the year. Even though membership renewal for honorary members is free and automatic, the return of the form (or an e-mail to let us know all is well) is appreciated.
Renewal fees go up on 1st November, so it pays to get your renewal in before then.

Northumbrian Mustangs would like a referee to attend one of their evening sessions to hold a BAFRA workshop with them. They have asked for one of the following dates:
Thursday 30th October from 6pm till 7/8pm
Thursday 6th November from 6pm till 7/8pm
They have full classroom facilities with projector, DVD player and microphone at their disposal. Is there anyone who would be available to pay them a visit on either of these days?
