Thursday 4th February 2021

Dear Shropshire members,

Hope you are keeping well through these challenging times. We are endeavouring to push on at BCS Shropshire, and had an excellent event in December on IT Automation, blazing the trail for many more talk and debate events, online.

It is AGM time again, the 23rd February 2021 at 6.30pm to be precise. So if you would like to get involved, now is the time. The formal words are below.

We expect to be able to confirm more details about the topic on the night, but at the moment it is a "Mystery Talk". A number of excellent options are in the mix, hopefully this will be confirmed in the next few days. Keep an eye on the Meetup page link where you need to register now:
