BUSCA AGM TONIGHT 7PM

BUSCA's AGM will take place on Tuesday June 23rd in the Assembly Rooms of the Conservative Club starting at 7.00.

After the usual formal business there will be in-person reports from the various subgroups of BUSCA.You will be able to find out what is going on and what is planned for the future and have your questions answered.

There will be light refreshments and a free drinks voucher for use at the Cons Club bar.

BUSCA IS Barrow Voice, BATS (Youth THeatre, Panto Group and Murder Mystery Group), Events, Heritage Group, Library Management Committee etc, Twinning Association and the various Barrow websites.

BUSCA is the registered charity behind each of these groups. It needs to continue to function to enable the sub groups to carry on doing what they do. If BUSCA was to falter, all these sub groups, including the library, would be very seriously affected and might well cease to function.

So BUSCA needs your support. It will be looking for new trustees. And it needs members.

Do please consider attending the AGM and even perhaps consider offering help in the future. You will be warmly welcome!

An RSVP to my email would be very helpful. [email protected]

Can you help.
Are you a musician or know someone that is?
It’s our Open Morning on Saturday 4th July. Come and play outside the library, come rain or shine, between 10am-11.30am.
Unfortunately the choir that were booked to sing have had to cancel.

We would love to hear from you.
