Secretary's Announcements

Committee Announcements and Reminders

On the back of what we hope was another great weekend's racing for everyone, the Committee has a number of important announcements and reminders to make:

- The rule changes voted in at this years AGM come into effect from this Thurs, 1st June, and as a quick (but not comprehensive) reminder, this includes the changes to full height (12"), the maximum permissable size of boxes (30" x 20" 30"), and the the minimum age for a final measure (24 months). We strongly encourage everyone to read through the amended rule book, which is available now on the website under downloads.

Updated Young Members Award Scheme Forms

Following a change of postal address of the YMAS Co-ordinator, the Young Members Award Scheme forms available on the website have been updated. Obviously this comes hot on the heels of another recent update but fear not - you can still use any forms you have printed off at the moment. Just make a note to send them to the new address and be sure to print off the new version available in Downloads section of the website from this point on.

BFA Website - Feedback and Tweaks

It has now been nearly two weeks since the new BFA website went live, and we are pleased to say the reception it has received has been overwhelmingly positive! 

AGM Proposals 2017 - Online and Postal Vote

The Committee is pleased to announce that the On-line and Postal vote on the 2017 AGM Proposals will open tomorrow (Weds 12th April), and will close at 12pm (noon) on Wednesday, 26th April. All members eligible to vote in this ballot will, over the course of tomorrow, start to receive either an email or a postal voting pack.

The launch of the NEW BFA WEBSITE!!!

It's here.... the moment we've all been waiting for for so long - the shiny new BFA website is now live!

Browsing should now be more intuitive and the site should be easy to navigate regardless of if you're on a computer, tablet or phone.

It should now also be easier for BFA Officials to carry out their work administering the site, and over the coming years we'll be able to take advantage of the increased functionality that this site offers.  

There are a few things to note before you go off to play and explore:
