BGFC's new blog

Hi everyone

Welcome to our new blogging site!

This site will enable members to check on what's happening at our club on a daily/weekly basis. You will be able to keep up-to date on events and it will also act as an effective communication tool between the committee and the members.

As its my first time blogging it will no doubt be a work in progress, so feel free to e-mail me with comments or suggestions. As with anything its only as good as the content so if you would like something included please let me know, even if its just a great photo you want to brag about.

Regards
SW
