Guest Speaker Capt Rtd Sue Liburd MBE
 Summer Ball 2017.
On Saturday 24th June 143 members and guests gathered at the Tally Ho Conference and Banqueting centre, Edgbaston,Birmingham for the association's annual Dinner and Dance. This year we celebrated our 22nd anniversary. Master of Ceremony was the one and only Cliff Walker JP, MBE who, over the years has done an excellent job in ensuring that we have a prompt start and the night runs according to programme. During the meal guests were entertained by the dulcet of of saxophonist Samantha-Jayne.  After the meal and a couple of speeches, the ever popular (big people DJ) Trevor Junior took charge and we danced till 2am. 

Our guest speaker was the award-winning businesswoman, social entrepreneur, international human capital consultant and executive personal strategist, (Capt Rtd) Sue Liburd MBE. Sue, who had a corporate career spanning commercial, public and third sectors gave an excellent and enlightening speech on her career in the Army and her path in life which has led to her obtaining the OBE in 2016.

 BCVA would like to thank all members and guests who attended our 22nd anniversay celebrations this year for their continued support in helping to make the event such a wonderful occasion.
Please make a note in your diary that next years Dinner and Dance will be on 30th June 2018 at the usual venue.
