Nomination forms are due by Friday 17 October 2025.\nSimilarly\, there are opportunities to join the BBKA Examinations Board\, which oversees examinations and delivery. We encourage you to consider and propose candidates who have good beekeeping experience and/or professional experience with other examination boards. Once again\, nominations are due by Friday 17 October.\nIn addition\, if you have a Proposition for the BBKA ADM\, then please complete the Proposition Form to be reviewed by the Standing Orders & Governance Committee. Propositions are also due by Friday 17 October.\nDelegate\, Trustee\, President\, Examinations Board nomination forms\, the ADM Proposition Form\, plus guidance and policy documents\, are all available in the Admin & Compliance section of the BBKA Learning Online platform: https://learning.bbka.org.uk/\nTo remind you again\, please ensure that your nominations and propositions arrive at the BBKA Office (post or by email) by 4.00pm Friday 17 October 2025 – and of course\, earlier is always better!
