ALCA (Avon Local Councils Association) is a member organisation run by and for its member Parish and Town Councils and Parish Meetings (referred to as local councils), within the Unitary areas of Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES), North Somerset (NS), South Gloucestershire (SG) and Bristol City. However, currently there are no parish and town councils within Bristol City or the City of Bath.
It is our aim to REPRESENT, ADVISE, CONSULT, COMMUNICATE, TRAIN, INFORM and LISTEN to all councils but in particular our members. As the voice of local councils we welcome ideas and seek thoughts from all on the way forward.
Member councils very in size from the Parish Meeting of St Catherine’s with an electorate of 44 the smallest in the area to Weston super Mare the largest local council in England with an electorate of approximately 53,730. However ALCA seeks to uphold the interests of this diverse membership.

I'm working on a brand new and aspirational antiques show for primetime BBC Two called 'ANTIQUES MASTER.' The aim of the show is to find the most passionate and knowledgeable amateur antiques expert in the UK. Contestants will battle it out over a series of challenges to prove they have the all round knowledge to win both the title and the trophy of 'antiques master'. The show itself will be a mixture of 'Q&A' and practical challenges. The show is being made by the same department that makes 'MASTERMIND' for BBC Two and it'll be pitched at a similar level.
I was wondering if there was any way that you could help us spread the word e.g. via your website? The deadline for applications is April 16th and filming will start on May 1st.
