New teachers

Congratulations to Silvia Geissbauer and Maria Mountain on gaining their BWY Teaching Diplomas.

The BWY West Midlands Regional Newsletter

For many years this newsletter has been a chief line of communication for BWY members within this region.

Having listened to various members around the region we realise that the most important page of the Newsletter is the Diary of Events, summarizing what is planned in this area. With the new website in place we hope that there will no longer be a need for the Newsletter in its current format. Instead we would like to propose that from the end of the year all our members receive a simple Diary of Events on a quarterly basis. This means that the Autumn 2010 edition—due out in September—will be the last one with the newsletter in this format.

By moving towards a digital format we will be able to save considerable costs from our budget. With the current limited number of BWY members in our Region the existing newsletter format has proven to be beyond our means. We appreciate that not everyone will welcome these measures but hope that you understand the implications of continued rising costs. Please feel free to send your comments or concerns to your County Rep or any member of the Regional Committee whose contact details are on the back page.
