A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and made the Carol service such a memorable evening. An extra special thank you to the Lord Lieutenant for taking time out of her busy schedule to visit us during the festive season.

🎉 BGM's End-of-Year Celebration! 🎉

Yesterday, we gathered for our BGM Festive Social, and it was fantastic to have (most of) the team together in one place! It was a chance to reflect on a year filled with amazing achievements.

A special moment of the night was honouring two of our most dedicated volunteers — Chairman Dave and Head of Programming Gareth — who were both presented with 20-Year Long Service Certificates. Their incredible commitment, passion, and service have been the heartbeat of BGM for two decades. Here’s to another 20 years! 🏅👏

Thank you to everyone who made it a night to remember! Here’s to more good times, great shows, and community spirit in the year ahead. 💛🎄🎶
