BPCA Member Award winners and meeting wrap up

On 8 April 2022, BPCA held a wrap-up meeting for members to recap all the work of 2021. We also held our annual Member Awards.

You can watch back the meeting here:

President, Treasurer and Committee reports

BPCA President Philip Halpin gave his last annual report on BPCA’s work and achievements. Honour Treasurer, Mark Williams gave us a state of play on BPCA’s healthy finances.

Each of the four member-run Committees gave us their yearly reports too. You can read their updates in BPCA’s Annual Report 2021 – featured in PPC magazine issue 106.
