BCRA Council 2022
John Gunn writes ... As those who attended our AGM will know there are a few changes to Council for 2022. We welcome Professor Simon Bottrell as our President for the next three years and Professor Mike Rogerson who is a new member of Council and a Trustee of the Association.
Simon is a Professor in, and until recently was head of, the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds. He served on BCRA Council in the 1990s and has been a member of the Cave and Karst Science Editorial Advisory Board since 2011. Mike is Professor of Earth System Science at Northumbria University and has current research projects in Peak District caves including the Poole's Cavern British Cave Science Centre.
The two retiring Trustees are Dr David [Deej] Lowe and David Gough both of whom are thanked for their excellent service to BCRA. Deej served two terms as President (2016-18 and 2019-21) and continues as joint-Editor of Cave and Karst Science. David joined Council in 2012 and served as Treasurer (2012-2016) and on the Publications Team. In addition to thanking David, BCRA are also grateful to his partner, Ruth King, for the assistance she has provided since 2017 with compilation of end of year financial reports.
... and finally some reminders ...
