I topped up this morning. I think todays minicrash is a good opportunity to snap up some good quality blue chips.

Deadline date on mine was 4th Dec so still a couple of days left. I've taken mine up anyway still a hefty discount on current share price. mainly a long term recovery punt now. But they do give exposure to far east which hopefully will be good for long term, and I recall reading that the issue was totally underwritten so any options not aken up are covered.

No Posts for a month now. Can I assume that everybody has accepted we have lost the money? I guess I assumed that with my stake a long time ago although was visiting here to see if anyone had any ideals worth pursuing.

I have just topped up at this price. There is no indication that the dividend will be cut so just relax and take the dividend for now. It will be back up over 10000 before the end of the year. The RNS stated sales at lower end of expectation thats not that bad and I believe that the sell off has been over done. Not looked yet but you may find a lot of the price movement has been down to shorting so in my view take it as a buying opportunity and if you look at the trades I am not alone in this.

I'm the same as you and got in a few years back at 289. I think you should check you dividend payments though as they stopped SCRIP when the new CEO joined approx 2 years ago much to my chagrin. He said it was having a dilutive affect on the shares.

No mention of a dividend though ! They were going to re-instate the dividend when the financial situation improved.

I am also still here and look in occasionally although I have written this money off to experience now and will no longer invest in AIM companies restricting myself to FTSE 350 which is more regulated. I had problems proving my holding as like a previous poster have my shares in an HSBC nominee account which means a screen shot would show my entire holdings (not just BHR) which I didnt want to divulge to a third party hence my not registering for the share holders meeting. I do however wish the team the best of luck and hope that with your continued efforts you manage to enforce some changes to the way AIM companies are regulated. However it will be a very long time before I consider an AIM company as an investment opportunity again.

Thanks for the update. Looks like we have been mislead all along. Hopefully enough evidence to make some criminal charges stick to the board with any luck..

Am I correct that this forum is now being used for the BHR discussions as per the e-mail?

They are not really sugar anymore that was sold to an American company although still sold as Tate and Lyle, more a bulk ingredients company and sugar substitutes for food SPLENDA. As for buying for capital growth make your own decision, personally I think they will drop a bit more yet and then rise, similar to PFC but really don't think you should time the bottom. It all depends if you feel they are oversold, looking at the trade volumes today a lot of people think they are, and as I said previously the dividend is good in the meantime. As always make your own decisions and DYOR. To time buying I always find it useful to look at Bollinger bands they are a good indicator if a share is cheap.

The dip could be an opportunity to add as long as they maintain the dividend

Ouch why the sudden drop? is this Greece related? I thought majority of their business was Asia. The volumes have been good last few days with as many buyers as sellers.

HSBC? had my letter on monday

I cannot see a major rise in this share until they reinstate the dividend. Who knows when that will happen !

Sorry that should have read I do understand the need to keep attendance to real shareholders so just asking

What part of the country are you thinking of having the meeting in? I am in Bristol so geography could be important. Would you consider having some sort of on-line access we could log into? I do understand to keep the attendance to real shareholders so just asking.

I am in the same boat as you and though the numbers of shares I hold are not great compared to many I purchased at a price many orders of magnitude greater than they are today. This has really soured my views on aim investing, in future I will stick to FTSE 350 where there at least is some regulation.. I think that any compensation would be based on the number of shares held so unfortunately the long timers will be the ones to lose out. (really wish I sold when they hit 4p but as with all things you hope for a recovery and nobody likes to crystallise a loss. A big lesson learnt here ). I have been following the board and want to wish the action group the best of luck. I have signed up to the website but not sure how much help I could be as I am a businessman and don't have a legal or forensic accounting background, and this is increasingly looking like one for the lawyers to chew over now. But you have my best wishes and thanks for the sterling work so far on all of our behalf's.

Yes of course, they count exactly the same as the standard shares. The hope is that RSA will start to pay dividends again

Had the broker letter today 5 for 1 share consolidation and rights issue subject to approval at the AGM on 9th May. Not sure why there hasnt been an RNS on the share consolidation or did I miss it?

This share will move when they start paying the dividnd again. Q4?
