BSI used to run training courses for new members. I found them quite useful, I think they may now be horrible web based things.

I have sat on BS committees continuously since 1976, with a short break between 1978 and 1982. I spend a lot of time thinking about Joanna Lumley between listening to whats going on. I remember a fire brigade rep who used to sit on a committee in the 1980s. He used to spend all his time drawing spaceships. They were lovely spaceships, with multi coloured flames coming out of the exhaust, highly detailed and positive works of art. He never used to say anything unless the word fire brigade were uttered, at which point he would spring into life, parking his spaceship momentarily, mainly to say something inane , like we wont accept that. Have fun.
Are we now expected to take BSs seriously? I always thought they were riddled with contradictions and statements seemingly plucked out of the air. Now I know why.
