Why attend the Annual General Meeting?
The annual general meeting (AGM) of the BSCB is traditionally held during the spring meeting and this year is no exception in that it will take place on 30 March 2006 at Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh. However, in another way I want this year to be the exception that sets the trend for future meetings because I am urging all BSCB members who are at the meeting to attend the AGM.

Why would you want to? Because the AGM is where you as members of the society get a say in how the society is run. Do you think the meetings we run could be improved? If so, the AGM is the place to tell us what you think. Do you have suggestions for who should be on the BSCB committee? Tell us who you would like to nominate. Do you have a view on what a cell biology society should be doing for cell biologists?

We would love to hear your opinion. We can't represent you if you don't tell us what you want.

Finally, should you want to attend but feel that after a long day listening to talks, the lure of the bar is too great. Do not worry as refreshments will be provided. Please come and join us and help make the BSCB a society that truly represents its membership.

President, BSCB.
