It's ACM Time Again
Posted: Sat Nov 04, 2017 3:24 pm
I will post topics for each ACM motion. Motions marked 75 / 25 and will be handled under regulation 5.9 (page 175) and voted on immediately. If the motion receives 75% support it will be immediately adopted, if it fails to receive 25% support it is immediately lost. If the motion gains support of between 25% and 75% it will be debated.
.
Location
We will be meeting at the British Canoeing building in Nottingham. The British Canoeing building is at the far end of the car park. There are limited tea and coffee facilities. In particular, there may be a shortage of mugs, so please bring your own.
Catering
A free buffet style lunch will be available to delegates on the day. We will need to know the number of people wanting to eat, so please let Colin Woodgate (slalom.Secretary@britishcanoeing.org.uk) know by 18th November if you are coming.
Electronic Paper work
As a cost control and sustainable approach, we are reducing the amount of paper being produced for the ACM. As previously agreed we are distributing the ACM Agenda reports and proposed calendar electronically. Please ensure that you print and bring with you any paper work you require at the meeting.
