I am pleased to bring to your attention an invitation by the British Council and the "Uniscorp" Publishers for two exciting literary events (cf. attached invitation).
I would also like to remind you that the deadline for application for Bursaries ( type A and B) is March 1, 2010. Details on application terms are available in the last issue of "The European English Messenger". Those of you who haven't got a copy can read it online at http://www.essenglish.org ( password: John Thomas). Application Forms as well as guidelines for creating a budget proposal can be downloaded from the ESSE web site ( cf. address above )
There is also another important call for applications and nominations for the ESSE positions of secretary and treasurer. ( cf. details in The Messenger, p. 10). If there is anyone who wishes to apply for any one of these positions or nominate someone, please let us know as soon as possible so that we have enough time for consideration of the applications at a BSBS meeting before the deadline , June 1st, 2010.
Let me remind you, too, that those who want to participate in the ESSE-10 conference in Torino, can obtain the list of seminars and workshops from the conference site at: www.unito.it/esse2010
Finally, a reminder to those who still haven't paid their membership fee. I kindly request them to get in touch with BSBS secretary Nelly Yakimova at nelly_y...@mbox.contact.bg and pay their dues. Unfortunately, things have gone really bad this year and we can't collect the fee to pay ESSE. It is most unfortunate that regular members may be prevented from getting the full benefit of their membership just because of some people's absentmindedness.
Maria Georgieva
BSBS President
Dear Maria,
thank you very much for the info.
I have been very busy this month with my MA graduates' MA theses and defence.
Two of them would like to become members of BSBS: Asya Dineva and Magdalena Sofronova. I wonder whether they can fill in application forms online and when I am in Sofia next week - I could pay their membership fees together with mine?
With a wish for a successful year,
Gergana Pencheva-Apostolova
