### 2/5 — Needs Updating

*2024-07-25*

Works very well but does need updating. The current issue is number #114 but will only display up to number #112 (even when you’re logged in). As BMC don’t produce a paper version to save money,  members can either down load a PDF from the BMC web site or use this app.
