Excellent article, great to see BcUK getting the recognition that it so rightly deserves.

Nice to see this movement getting into the nationals and by the way, I have a signed BcUK T Shirt - how much do you think that would get on Ebay?

Best wishes.

Jack.

It can only benifit us as a forum with sympathetic articles like that. Getting the bit in about us not being "DPM clad nutters" was a great idea.
Good to see the forum mentioned and all credit to Andrew for mentioning us.

There already is one mate.... well ..... OCN levels 1 & 2, level 2 being the equivelant to a GCSE, complete with course work ..... We've had them in south wales for the past 3 years now.
