BATC Biennial General Meeting and ATV Rally

We are planning a BGM.....offers of a venue very welcome - to the secretary.

The ‘perfect’ venue Wish-List would include:

• good transport links (road and rail)
• availability of food at a reasonable rate.
• Flat access to the hall.
• Zero cost access to the visitor.
• Access available on the Saturday afternoon to set up a Sunday exhibition and BGM.
• "Stiff" power supply (does not droop under load) for possible OB attendance.
• Good r.f. location for repeater demos and support of the local repeater group.
• central location if possible (but this is NOT mandatory)

Any offers of a venue meeting all (or some, or a few, or one!) of these please, to Graham Hankins - secretary@batc.org.uk

Data Protection Act

On the 1^st March 2000 the Data Protection Act 1998 took effect. The registration scheme established by the 1984 Act has been  replaced by a process called notification.

Under the 1998 Act there are exemptions from notification one of these being a 'Not for profit Organisation.' It has been determined that the  BATC falls under this category and therefore a 'I do not Intend to Notify' form has been returned to the Data Protection Notification  department.

However the BATC will continue to treat the personal data it keeps in strict confidence and the records kept are only used for Membership  records and mailing of CQ-TV Magazine. Your data will not been given to third parties and is only available to the Club's Committee.

Along these lines I do occasionally receive requests from one member requiring the address of another. It has always been Club policy and will  continue to be that even in these circumstances I do not give out this information. I am however quite happy to pass on any letter sent to me  for forwarding onto another member so contact can be made.
