Committee News

Summary of Committee Meeting held on Tuesday 9th December 2025

After approving the minutes of the previous meeting, from actions arising it was reported that Peter Runacres had now been appointed as auditor. He was reviewing the outstanding 2024 accounts with the aim of approval shortly.

A formal letter to the Council supporting the new archive store, as the only practicable  option, was approved. Our own requirements for a store continues to be reviewed.

Mike reported that only one meeting needed to be confirmed and some options for summer visits were being explored. With regret the committed heard that after 15 years in the role, he would resign at the next AGM. A possible replacement had been identified. The planned transfer of magazine editorship had unfortunately had to be stopped due to the non-availability of the replacement member. Christine has agreed to continue, with help, for a further period.

A healthy position on the accounts and steady membership was reported. Max advised that Jo B. was now looking after the BBLHS Facebook page which it was hoped would attract younger members.



A Bromley Civic Society event at which we could be represented had asked for financial assistance and a sum was agreed in principle (subsequently the event has been postponed indefinitely).

The next Committee meeting will be on Wednesday 25th March.
