Paul Walsh thanked the meeting for its support and for the help and encouragement from his colleagues on the BIMA Executive, all of whom gave their time voluntarily. He went on to say that he had spent a great deal of the last twelve months out and about, meeting both members and non-members to ascertain their perceptions of BIMA and gathering opinions on how BIMA can improve its image and services. He had accumulated a great deal of information and intended to use this as a basis for future enhancements for BIMA.
