Bath Club is part of the South West and Channel Islands region. The region has a stylish new website – have a look and see what is going on across our region. http://sigbi.org/swci/

We recently made the local papers after presenting a cheque for £1,500 to Carol Dutton the Regional Care Advisor for Huntington’s Disease Association. The money will be used to support research but also to provide aid to local families. For more information, visit http://www.hda.org.uk.

SI Bath were very sad to hear of the deaths recently of Madeleine Davis and Ivor Roberts. Madeleine was a past President whilst Ivor had been our auditor for many years and had only just retired. We send our best wishes to their families. But both would have been very happy to know that the club continues its good work – and we raised £1500 for Huntingdon’s Disease. See more on our project page.

It is with great pleasure that I am able to announce, that SI Bath’s website is Live, complete with custom domain name and email alliases!

The site is still a work in progress but you are now able to read about some of our recent activites and planned events for the forthcoming year.

Any suggestions as to how we might improve the site would be more than welcome. And please don’t hesitate to contact us if you would like to know more about what we do or would be interested in becoming a member.
