Hi Tony,I have felt for a while that the BAA could be more flexible with regard to the creation of Special Interest Groups rather than trying to make everything fit within the current Section structure.Of course we do have one such SIG already – the Radio Astronomy Group. But I have thought that we could/should have a Spectroscopy SIG (as there are number of members who pursue this), and Exoplanets would be another ideal candidate SIG.These would help provide a focus for members who have interests in these areas – and I think would be good to support, coordinate and report observations, and prepare papers or articles for the Journal.Regards,Callum
