Karel Thomas, Executive Director
The BUFDG website is now updated with details of the new Executive Committee, which is now chaired, for the first time in BUFDG's history, by a woman. Sally McGill (Durham) takes over from Phil McNaull (Edinburgh); Rob Brelsford Smith (Swansea) takes over from Rosie Drinkwater (Warwick) as Vice-Chair (Finance); Sarah Randall-Paley (Lancaster) was elected to the Vice-Chair role vacated by Sally and Liz Rylatt (City) continues as the other Vice-Chair. The BUFDG team is looking forward to working with them and they are looking forward to hearing from members as they represent you in many forums. The group thanked Phil and Rosie for their service at yesterday's Annual General Meeting which also approved the budget for next year and in-principle budgets for the next three years based on the current service level that we offer to members. The subscriptions are in five bands according to institutional income and range from £1,222 to £2,737 (plus VAT) and allow anyone in a subscribing institution access to the website with its extensive range of materials and network, including 10 free e-learning modules. We hope that all members will continue to subscribe and enjoy being part of this collaborative endeavour.
