BBKA Spring Convention 2012 

20 – 22 April ‘Stoneleigh’ (now Harper Adams College). There is an opportunity to share transport to and from this event as follows. SBA member John Coyle is plannig on hiring a 14/15 seater mini bus to go down to the Annual BBKA Spring Convention which is being held this year at Harper Adams University College, Telford. The convention runs from 12 noon on the 20th April through 22nd April, 2012. John says:

"I have spoken to the organizing committee and they will allow a 'Scottish delegation' to have joint BBKA membership.   This means we can attend any of the workshops at the convention at a reduced rate.Costs are down to the numbers of “bums on seats”. If you are interested in joining a Scottish contingent please get in touch with: johncoyle'at'tiscali.co.uk"
