Celebration at Alnwick

Posted on

At the BAS Club Annual General Meeting earlier in the day, the motion put forward by BAMT Trustee Tony Wincott for the Club to donate £500 to the Trust for foundations for the Southern Monument was carried unanimously.  At the end of the reunion dinner the result of the auction for the Mike Skidmore painting was announced.  The winning bid was £1250.  Both these additions to the BAMT funds for completing the Southern Monument gave the fireworks an even greater significance.  A celebration indeed!  Thank you BAS Club members for showing such support.
