An interesting note is that the BCG was THE group in the UK before all this internet stuff. All of the groups you see here can be traced back as an offshoot of the BCG.
What's also kinda neat is that most of the officers of the BCG are like... ancient (no disrespect implied)... and they seem to be technophobes... they seem to really shy from the internet... I don't know if that's a good or bad thing but it is cool. Anyone going to the Chester meeting this Saturday? Quote:

Chester Symposium
For those that got there, I am sure that everyone enjoyed an excellent day.
Great speakers, and a superb venue. The City of Chester,can be justly proud of its Zoo, and it was for my part well worth the 500+ mile round trip to get there! It was also good to meet a few of the faces from this Forum, and with some travelling all the way from the USA for the Meeting, it just goes to show how well respected the BCG organisation is! |

After recent forth comings I am definatley going to join this group. I think one that shies away from the internet is much more effective TBH as they don't spend their time traipsing around groups looking for 'dirt' on perspective re-homers.
