Web sites have an unfortunate habit of changing, which means that links to other people’s web sites that used to work fine have a habit of breaking. Therefore, you should check all the links on the pages you are responsible for periodically.

The linked pages contain material to assist with the creation of press releases and other publicity material, especially in Britain.
The BGA has a large number of volunteers willing to help with youth go by providing advice or teaching.
Please direct initial contact through the appropriate BGA officer on the Youth Committee. If in doubt contact the Youth Committee chairman.
