FAQs

What is a BIS AGM?

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is the opportunity for Members of the Association to have their say about how British Ice Skating as the National Governing Body (NGB) is running the sport. The meeting includes a presentation of the Company's annual accounts and financial statements, a report on our activities over the preceding year, and elections for key governance positions. Attending is a great way to find out more about how BIS works, and to influence the organisation's future.
