BC150

BC150 our one day Club show is coming together nicely. With 50 exhibit frames booked, bourse tables taken by 8 dealers: Brian Gosselin, June Gibson, Peter Jensen, Wayne Dodds, Aiden Butterfield, Jim Miller, Bob McGillivray, and Tom Watkins, souvenirs produced, judges arranged, hall with tables and chairs rented, copious amounts of Valium ingested...

However, we still desperately need volunteers!

We do not yet have firm commitments for the transport, set-up and tear-down of the exhibit frames and we need folks to tend to the reception table to hand out exhibits lists, favourite exhibit ballots and flog 50/50 draw tickets. Please let us know how where and when you can help your Club to make our show a success.

We should be okay as regards the running of the Show souvenirs and Club consignment table but extra hands are always welcome.

Thanks to all working to make BC150 a success, Derren,

Exhibition Chair, Bourse Chair, Promotion and Publicity Chair, Treasurer, and the bloke in charge of separating the rubber bands from the paper clips!

Quo Vadis B.C.Phil

With the recent changes in Executive at B.C.Phil and our inability to attract a full compliment of volunteers for the Club and Vanpex rosters there are are some questions as to where we are going as a club.

Past President Bob Ingraham, having to step away from his self-created duties as webmaster for the B.C.Phil webpage (a site which was created as a result of his multi-talented, single handed initiative!) and unable to find a suitable replacement for webmaster (HTML? Is that anything like a BLT?) suggested that we set up a "Blog" (loathe that term) to serve the dual function of creating a user friendly, WYSIWYG web page which has the additional function of allowing any and all members of the Club to post news, information, comments, criticisms, ideas and blog threads of thier own allowing for both an easier ability for someone to manage the site and members to have a more active involvement through the blog to participate in helping build and direct the Club in a way that will see it strengthen and grow.

Unsure as to exactly what degree of involvement will be required as manager of the blog (could someone PLEASE come up with a better term!?) Yours Truly is willing to *Provisionally* oversee the co-ordination of same until someone more capable can be tapped.
