British Canoeing Annual General Meeting 2023
The British Canoeing AGM will take place, online, on Saturday 11 March 2023
This is a formal meeting of British Canoeing members, including British Canoeing UK members, providing an opportunity to review the work of the organisation over the past 12 months, to discuss and approve the organisation’s finances, assess current progress against the strategy as well as confirm the appointment of Board Directors.

Following the success of the virtual AGM in 2021 which achieved record attendance, the 2023 AGM will be a fully virtual meeting with members given the opportunity to participate in the meeting via an online platform.
The meeting will again be hosted on the Lumi platform to keep proceedings as familiar as possible.
