BAPA was the first Amateur Press Association in Britain. Its foundation was first proposed by Phil Greenaway in the letter pages of the comics fanzine BEM and the first mailing (under the name PAPA) was circulated in January 1978. Phil Greenaway was the first Central Mailer and his successors included Maureen James, Howard Stangroom, Les Chester and Steve Green.

For most of its life up to thirty members of BAPA submitted multiple copies of at least two A4 pages to the central mailer every two months. BAPA was disbanded at the end of 2004 with a final mailing distributed early in 2005.
