A150, overseas memberships were constant. The year saw a full program of BTS and BTSYM evening lectures being held both in person at the ICE and online via our You-tube channel, although attendance numbers did not return to pre covid, we feel this was for several reasons.. continuation of the covid working method5, the ICE Bar & the famous "BTS Sausage & Chips" being not available through 2022 due to staffing shortages and then the refurb. We have had a good range of topics at the evening events and su5t3ined a high level of or)line viewing- The full BTS program of events meant we were able to hold the Annual Dinner, demand for places was such that we had 807 diner5 at 78 tables.

We had the BT5 Conference back at its correct year, myself presenting with E￿at privllege the"David Wallis Lecture" which I titled - A Past to Be Proud Off, A Future That Looks Green.

The BTS are very grateful to Tunnelling Joumal for managing such a fantastic event with the BTS. l am incredibly thankful to all our speakers who continued to embrace the online experience as well as those that have given evening lectures in person. They have all given their time to come and present to us and share their knowledge and experience, with many having made an exceptional additional level of preparation to help make each of our events a success. The wide and varied selection of evening presentations not only showcases what our industry can do but it also continues to be a leading light in the knowledge sharin8 activities of the ICE and its Associated Societies. It 15 fantastic to see people back at our in-person events but also that our online presence and lecture views 15 remaining high, this I feel is allowing the society to engage with a wider community.

Divik Bondopadhyoyo tld The SOCIe￿s 32 annual dinner was held at The Brewery banqueting centre in London on Friday 6, May 2022. This was the first dinner after a two year break owing to the Covid pandemic. As Lockdown hit after a considerable number of bookings had been tsken for the 2020 dinner, we offered free bottle of wine to every table that stood by their 2020 booking. A total of 35 bottles of 'farewell to lockdown, wine was provided to reward those members that retained their 2019 bookings to thank those members. Demand for places was such that we were unable to keep to our target of 75 tables, accommodating 807 diner5 at 78 tables, of which 26 were tables of 11 people. This did make the room feel a little crowded in places. For the 2023 dinner, we will not exceed 75 tables of 10 people. The evening followed the established format and was thus preceded by a champagne reception. After the usual fine dinner, we were treated to a rousing address from the Chair Ms Kate Cooksey,. this was her second year as BTS Chair, but due to the hiatLJS of the pandemic, her first dinner in that role. The theme of women in engineering was maintained by our speaker, the television host Steph McGovern, although her address focused more on hef recent career activities. On conclusion she acceded to a request from MC John Scholey to a brief display of Irish step dancing to the reel 'Mountain Road, to some great acclaim. Profits from the dinner go to support the BTS learned society activities. We are particularly grateful to Jacobs. our prime sponsor, whose support has enabled us to increase this contribution.

The arrangement 15 via a Service Level Agreement whith continues to be reviewed annually. A change in the financing arrangements in 2018 encouraged us to ftjcus more on technical project5 and to seek funding assistance from the ICE Enabling Fund, and this 15 Still the case. The ICE re8ularly refers tunnel-related media querles to BTS committee members and relies on our advice and expertise in such matters. These referrals have resulted in senior BTS members appearing on TV, on radio and reported in the national. local and technical press. The BTS and the ICE continue to jointly run the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Infrastructure. 20.
