The British Elbow and Shoulder Society was founded as a result of an increasing interest in shoulder and elbow surgery in the UK in the early 1980s, and particularly after a very successful Third ICSS meeting in Japan. The stimulus came from Michael Watson, who wrote the following letter on 3 November 1986;As a result of that letter the founding members of BESS: lan Bayley; Michael Watson; Steve Copeland; and Angus Wallace met on 28 March 1987 at 92 Harley Street in London and set up the Society. Since this date the meetings of BESS have been held annually.‘I think the time has come to take the bull by the horns and seriously consider the nuts and bolts of setting up a British Shoulder Surgery Association. I am sure that we are going to start to get enquiries for our corporate stance on technical and administration.'
