BASES are pleased to announce the launch of a BASES Welsh Branch to be based in the first instance in the Department of Sport and Exercise Science at Aberystwyth University (www.aber.ac.uk/sportexercise).

The aim of the Branch is to further promote the aims of BASES and its members within the geographical area of the region. The pilot scheme will run for two years in the run-up to the 2010 BASES Annual Student Conference at Aberystwyth University. BASES aims to have a locally elected/nominated Chair and Representative Committee established, with Branch activities including regular meetings, seminars and CPD opportunities.

If you are interested in joining the BASES Welsh Branch, then please contact Professor David Lavallee (david.lavallee@aber.ac.uk).

If you are interested in launching a Branch in your area, then please contact Jane Bairstow (jbairstow@bases.org.uk).
