BMC Annual General Meeting

Posted by Team BMC on 21/05/2024

The 2024 Annual General Meeting took place on Wednesday 12 June as on online only meeting.

If you’re a member of the BMC then you are directly supporting and contributing to the work we do on behalf of our community of hill walkers, climbers, and mountaineers. You will also be benefitting from the support we provide across our services and activities, that will vary on your activities, specific interests, and roles that you may have volunteering across our work areas.

As a member you also have a say on the things we do and we want to make sure you can do that and know that each member will have different perspectives and different means by which they want to contribute, the AGM is one.

CLUBS AND VOLUNTEERING

The BMC also has local area groups, volunteers who represent the BMC in their local areas and who meet quarterly to discuss issues local to them as well as wider national issues.

You may already be a member of a club but if not, this is a great way to meet like-minded people local to you while at the same time developing your skills and knowledge. You might want to look at setting up your own group or club, something which the BMC can support you with. Click here to find a club.

The BMC is the sole member of MHT, but there is no report from MHT in the Annual Report. The only mention of MHT seems to be that it was supported by £0 in 2023, as compared with £25,000 in 2022. How is the MHT's work supported by the BMC, for which it is the national archivist and heritage custodian?
This requires some explanation at the AGM.

This was the best BMC agm I have ever attended.
It fully retained my attention for two hours because I listened to and watched the chair, CEO, and president, and watched and commented in Chat (some people didn't realise they could raise a hand for a direct question and vote all simultaneously) and voted all in parallel. Absorbing indeed.
OK, I miss the mad piss-ups of the 1970s, but I was never a drinker. as chair of Lakes are we are trying to increase informality and so our next meeting is a BBQ with a chat!
