Hello, Firstname
 
Change of BPS Chairman
After 5 years as Chairman I thought that it was time for Change and have stepped down from the role.  At the Council Meeting held earlier this week I am pleased to say that Jeff Hargreaves was unanimously voted in to be the new Chairman of BPS.  I would like to extend my personal thanks to Jeff for offering to take on the role.
 
As many of you will know that this is not Jeff’s first time as Chairman, and Council and I welcome Jeff’s experience and wealth of knowledge of BPS that we know will make him an excellent Chairman.
 
I have very much enjoyed my role but felt it was time to have someone else at the front each week (possibly a view shared by many of you 😊), and of course I won’t have to think of something nice to say about the speaker/judge.
 
Regards
Ralph
