MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL

We are now well into the renewal period and thank you to all who have returned their forms. Just a reminder that membership renewals should be made as soon as possible with those being made before 1^st November being at a lower rate. Members will be pleased to note that yet again this year there is no rise in membership fees. However, if you anticipate any difficulty in paying, you should contact Charles Young, Director of Finance at finance@bafra.org and arrange a payment plan with him. This will, of course, be in strict confidence. Accompanying the renewal notice, the Directors are again conducting a survey of the membership. It is requested that you return your survey with your renewal.

I have now processed the automatic renewals and they are included in the list below. I have to date (midday on 14^th October) received 80 renewals/new memberships for 2016 as follows:

Stuart Alger; Dave Allan; Mark Allen; Graham Baker; Robert Banks; Andrew Binns; Bill Bowsher; Christopher Brice; Mark Bridgham; Matthew Brown; John Burns; Darren Carr; Mike Cavanagh; Phil Clarke; Graham Coleman; Les Connor; Ian Davies; Mark Edwards; Stephen Egan; Mike Fenton; Ed Franklin; Benjamin Gadsby; Edan Gardner; Barry Gent; Cam Gibson; Martin Gibson; Roger Goodgroves; Ray Grace; John Griffin; Ben Griffiths; Gerry Grunska; Paul Haddad; Jon Ikins; Anton Jarbol; Chris Jarvis; Damian Jurzyk; Fletcher Kinnie; Sandy Kyriacou; Mike LeFevre; Bill LeMonnier; Steve Leonard; Tzvi Lindeman; Liam MacDonald; Richard McEwen; Jason Mead; Clyde Messenger; Lee Mills; Tim Morris; Darryl Morton; Richard Murphy; Dave Norton; Tim Ockendon; Peter Parsons; Euan Paterson; Thomas Parvia-Pennick; Ana Pérez Prados; Richard Prattley; Stephen Quick; Larry Rigby; John Roberts; Mike Roberts; Andy Robson; Rob Rooksby; Conrad Russell; Clive Sandle; Ian Sneddon; Hamish Stewart; Paul Sutton; Lee Taylor; Pete Thom; Steve Tonkinson; Chris Treacy; Malcolm Turnbull; Harald von Sydow; Sean Welsh; Richard Whitby; Simon Williams; Mark Wilson; Brian Yates; Charles Young.

If you have sent in your membership renewal and think I should have received it by the date above, and it does not appear above, please contact me.

Finally, in the unlikely event that you are not planning to renew your membership, it would be helpful if you would let me know (if possible with your reason(s) for not renewing).

GAMES ON SATURDAY 31^ST OCTOBER

Officials have been assigned to games on this date. Unfortunately some officials who were showing as available have declined their assignments.
