Bo’ness residents and groups urged to renew Bo’net membership
Residents and community groups living in Bo’ness have been urged to renew their free Bo’net Networking Group membership.
Set up to promote events, projects and local businesses across the Bo’ness area, the registered charity also supports similar groups in Blackness.
Networking group Chair Madelene Hunt said: “We’re planning our AGM on September 2 and want to have an updated list of members and their contact details to invite them along.”
Some of the networking group’s prior civic successes include the creation of free audio guides for the area, which helps promote local tourism, as well as the development of a popular community garden at Bo’ness Hospital.
Bo’net also provides members and groups with access to information, networking opportunities and regular updates about funding, events and local initiatives.
Mrs Hunt said: “If you’ve been a member before, or want to join, just head over to our website and fill in the form. It will only take a few minutes and membership renewals are completely free.
“If we don’t hear from you by July 26, we’ll assume you no longer want to stay as a member. But hopefully that won’t be the case.”
The Bo’net website features an in-depth directory of local organisations as well as links to guides and local commercial information.
Mrs Hunt added: “Bo’ness is fortunate to have a fantastic range of community groups, charities, and volunteers. The place would be much poorer without all their hard work and effort. We want to do all we can to support them.”
