National
Council Announcement – 30th January 2=
012
Following yesterday’s
meeting of the National Council; I am pleased to announce that agreement has
been reached on a number of key decisions which will help shape the future =
of
the BTBA.
Financial difficulties
brought about by a declining membership have meant that we must change our
structure and the way we operate. Through Area Secretary and Team England
Seminars, and wider consultation with members, we have reviewed most aspect=
s of
the organisation.
We have examined differe=
nt
ways of streamlining our business activities and ensuring we are getting be=
st
value. Many good ideas and options have come from members themselves and we=
are
now at the point where we need to drive these forward.
The first change is a
welcome appointment to the National Council. With immediate effect, Mr Matt
Miller will Chair an executive committee with the specific task of producin=
g a
robust and sustainable recovery programme. This committee will report back =
to
the National Council on 28th February with a schedule of change =
and
a timetable for implementation.
Although we are now in a
fast track phase of setting the strategic direction of the BTBA, I must
reassure you that we will continue to give our fullest care and attention to
every detail and implication of outcomes. Getting it right is our overriding
priority.
For this reason, I will
spare the detail now, but expect to provide a far more comprehensive report=
on
progress at the end of February.
I will close by saying h=
ow
appreciative I am for the fantastic support so many members have given. I h=
ave
been impressed by the really positive and helpful ideas you have presented =
and
the willingness you have shown in giving so freely of your time.=
Yours in bowling,
=
Mrs Pat White=
Chairman BTBA=
