Dear friends,
About 17yrs ago when we started to change the CFZ from being
a ‘boys club’ to being a properly codified research organisation, we decided to
take a leaf out of the world of entomology. The amateur entomological society,
for example, has both a Phasmid Study Group and a Mantid Study Group.
It has always mildly puzzled me how people who are
interested in mystery cats, for example, are not necessarily interested in
bigfoot or lake monsters, but that is the way of the world, and so we decided
to start up special interest study groups of our own. The first two were the
Big Cat Study Group and the BHM Study Group.
The BHM Study Group was run for many years by the late Paul
Vella, but he was forced to give it up some years ago due to his declining
health, and until now we had not found a replacement.
I am very happy to announce that long term CFZ stalwart Glen
Vaudrey is taking over the role. As Glen is particularly interested in BHM in
Britain and Europe, we have appointed Colin Schneider, who has many contacts
within the US bigfoot community, as his deputy.
Good luck, chaps!

I think it’s wonderful news, I know myself and many witnesses have been waiting decades for the CFZ to get onboard with the subject, so to know that it is finally going to become a recognised subject and some serious data collection is going to happen is what myself and many of the researchers have wanted, I know myself, Adam Bird, Neil Young and many others, far to many to mention here, have been actively looking for witnesses and evidence since the early 2000’s and it's been a long hard road, to have the backing of the CFZ and its resources will bring the subject to many more people across the UK. Offering options and theory can be a very useful way for a witness to come to terms with the encounter and for some is also empowering. All the hard work that the British Researchers put in is substantial, so to see them get the recognition they deserve is wonderful.
