Significant contribution from Council and other members to ‘Members Corner’ slots. - Continued ‘Coffee Shop’ events, although attendee numbers declining and in need of a refresh. Membership numbers largely the same for last five years. - Appointment of Marketing Consultant to help formulate a new BHSEA Strategy to grow Membership.
