A move to a new single national governing body is the biggest decision our sports have faced in 20 years, and it needs to be shaped by the people who play, coach, umpire and volunteer. More than 300 members of the two communities have already told us what they think through a survey, and the answers have shaped this update. We are sharing this update to answer some of the questions raised so far. We will keep you informed as the work continues, including through a presentation at the BBF Congress in November and a BSF Online Forum at the end of November. britishbaseball.org.uk/oneor…
