This is standard practice, and nothing has changed from previous years with SGBCC membership renewals. FACTS 1. You must RENEW your SOCIAL membership by 30 June
 No renewal = No

The JBCSC Board hope you had a great holiday break. Having passed the peak of tourist numbers, we are starting up a few events and activities to allow our JBCSC supporters to get together, socialise and have some fun. The process to get to de-amalgamation is going to take some time as many factors lie outside JBCSC control. It is important to get things right and for the regulator ( ILGA ) to ensure the process has a robust positive outcome. Until de-amalgamation is achieved
