As agreed in November, and described in BBEST embarks on a new phase, five groups are now actively gathering and reviewing information from studies, surveys, and consultation events; developing ideas; and starting to consider draft policies and projects. Up until the major Forum development event & AGM on November 7th (3.00-5.30 in the Beacon Methodist Church) the groups will be working on their respective areas. The meetings of the groups are open to all Forum members and if you are interested in one of the themes please do come along and help develop the work (see BBEST embarks on a new phase for the details of each group).
