All BSV members have been thoroughly screened and must adhere to the rules of the Association Charter.

How are we organized?

BSV is funded by membership fees. The association holds four general meetings a year during which members discuss aims and objectives, as well as business plans and financial issues. Members take it in turns to host these meetings which give them the opportunity to present their venue to fellow members.

Leadership is provided by the Board of BSV, which consists of the President and four Board Members, all of whom are elected from among the venues which are full BSV members. The President is responsible for external relations and contact with the media. The Board Members each head working groups dealing with important association issues: the creation of joint annual sales & marketing plans, the screening of potential new members, and the development & promotion of environmental policies. The working groups meet separately and report back to their fellow members during the general meetings.
