Annual General Meeting 2021

Sadly, due to the Covid-19 Coronavirus outbreak we will be unable to hold our Annual General Meeting as we would normally do in March.
Therefore we are going to have to do things a lot differently this year. In line with the Constitution the committee have agreed to hold it via email.
(Full details will be circulated to members in the March edition of History Lines).

BTPHG Secretary, Bill Rogerson M.B.E.

Annual General Meeting 2019

Our 2019 Annual General Meeting will be held on Monday 25th March.

Members have been circulated with details of the venue in the latest edition of History Lines.

A buffet will be provided free of charge. All members are welcome but you do need to let Bill Rogerson know at least two weeks beforehand so that food can be ordered appropriately.

Members should receive a copy of the Year Book in the post before the AGM.

Please note, the AGM will not be the day before the NARBTPO AGM this year.

This is the one opportunity in the year when group members have the chance to meet up and chat historically, topically or just plain sociably.

Hope to see you there.

This is an important meeting in our calendar and we endeavour to make it a good social occasion too.

There will also be a subsidised buffet lunch (£5 a head). All members are welcome but you do need to let Bill Rogerson know at least two weeks beforehand so that food can be ordered appropriately.

BTP History Writer Scheme

Over the years a number of people have made a significant and valuable contribution towards documenting BTP history. The History Group believes it would be appropriate to recognise these contributions by conferring an informal ‘title’. This is intended as a simple recognition of good work done. It may  include, but is not limited to, members of the Group, and not necessarily to people still living – W.O. Gay, one-time BTP Chief Constable who wrote copiously about our history is one example. J.R. Whitbread who wrote The Railway Policeman is another.

Recipients of the title “BTP History Writer” will be appointed by the Group’s Trustees and President.  Nominations should reflect worthy contributions and are invited from any BTPHG member or retired BTP member of staff. By email please to btpwriters@btphg.org.uk.

UPDATE: June 2012
The first BTP History Writers have been selected. Go to the BTP History Writer page for full details!

History Group AGM

The History Group AGM this year will take place at 12 noon on Monday 26th March in Birmingham at the Bright House public house, Hill Street, (3 minutes walk, behind New Street Station.) This is the day before the NARBTPO AGM so that people can attend both events if they want to.  This is an important meeting in our calendar of course, but there will also be a subsidised buffet lunch (£5 a head) and we are endeavouring to make it a good social occasion too. We hope to have a speaker after lunch. All members are welcome but you do need to let Bill Rogerson know at least two weeks before hand so that food can be ordered appropriately.  Members should receive a copy of the Year Book in the post before the AGM and of course copies of all relevant papers will be available beforehand anyway. This is the one opportunity in the year when group members have the chance to meet up and chat historically, topically or just plain sociably. Hope to see you there.
