Registration is now open to attend the 45th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of British Canoeing, trading as Paddle UK, on Tuesday 18th March 2025.
British Canoeing is the registered legal name of Paddle UK, hence why the meeting is still referred to as a “British Canoeing Annual General Meeting”.
The AGM is a formal meeting of our members, providing an opportunity to review the work of the organisation over the past 12 months.
Following feedback from previous meetings, the 2025 AGM will again be held on a weeknight.
The meeting will start at 7:00pm on Tuesday 18th March 2025 and all members from Paddle UK, Paddle Cymru, Paddle Northern Ireland and Paddle Scotland, are invited to attend.
The 2025 AGM will be a fully virtual meeting with members given the opportunity to participate in the meeting via an online platform.
The virtual meeting will once again be hosted on Zoom and voting conducted via the Lumi platform to keep proceedings as familiar as possible.
This year, we shall be opening the Zoom at 6:45pm to allow members the opportunity to familarise themselves with Zoom and the Lumi platform and how to navigate between the two, with technical expertise available from the Lumi team.
Agenda items will include discussing and approving the organisation’s finances, assessing current progress against the strategy as well as confirming the appointment of Board Directors and the new Chair.
ALL attendees will need to register their details in advance of the meeting.
The closing date for registration of the AGM is 7pm on Sunday 16 March 2025.
