ollowing the brilliant 2017 Outreach season, ‘the very best year the team have ever enjoyed’, the 2018 season kicked off with the best-ever New Year’s Day result, with 60 membership signings – at one point there was a queue to join the ‘BTM family’. The team was extremely busy all day, David Norfolk went home with slatted imprints on his backside from the time he spent sitting signing new members at the Outreach welcome desk!

The team are on the starting blocks and ready to sprint (stagger, limp, amble) into action once the new season gets un- derway. Thank you for your enthusiastic support in the past and hopefully that support will continue well into the future.
Proposed outreach events for 2018 These are at Brooklands unless stated.
