    Monmouthshire BS have finally released their app at some point in the past few weeks: https://www.monbs.com/monbs-app/
    It's a slight faff to set up compared to others as you have to "register" for the app to log in initially but didn't take me more than a few minutes. Looks very similar to the Bath BS app.
    Right, come on Leeds, Ecology and Principality!!
    I'm not so bothered about the apps as such, but it would be nice if Loughborough BS could come up an app, or at the very least online banking.

    Can't pay in by debit card on the app sadly.

    It was the West Brom agm last week. Held at the Black country museum. It's in my area and I had intended to go but missed it. Wished I hadn't now.

    Members were warmly invited to explore the Black Country Living Museum in the afternoon.

    I wonder whether any other society offers  'perks' at its agm

    Voting is perhaps a sign that there won't be many rates cuts, if any, in the coming months

    Needed to vote twice to arrive at the decision so was in the balance.
    Next vote 18 Sept. The way things are going with inflation rates may have bottomed out
