Following the mailing last year (paper and electronic) notifying members of the change in banking arrangements, it has become apparent that some members have not informed the Society of their current details, particularly their email address (the Society has now moved away from paper mailings). As the Society is currently updating its membership database it is crucial that we have this information otherwise we will not be able to contact you . Even if you are not sure whether you have done this, please send in your details now, as no further paper mailings will be sent.

The BORS-US 2009 travelling fellows attended the American ORS meeting in Las Vegas, 22-25th February 2009 before visiting centres in California, Minnesota, Philadelphia and New York. Check out their exploits on the 2009 Fellows Blog.

The successful applicants were Nicholas Dunne, Jim Huntley, Tom Joyce, Wasim S Khan, Ines Reichert and Sarah Snelling
