New BQ Website!
On 2nd July 2009, our President Mike West conducted the official launch of this new web site.
He said, "It's taken over six months hard work by our Management Committee and Web Site Team. The site now has a dramatically improved layout, easy to use menu navigation, more images and more accessible, useful content."
He added that, "Further interesting changes are planned for development over the next six months, especially in a photography section and the home page."
For those of you who would like a bit more detail about the web page design and facilities, download the new home page overview (PDF, 86 KB) now.
