Why the AGM Matters

The AGM is the most important meeting of the year for every BRCA member. As outlined in the BRCA Handbook, the AGM covers:

• Reports on the Association and its sections

• Presentation of Association accounts

• Election of Officers and Auditor

• Agreement of the annual membership fee

• Discussion of any proposals submitted by members

• Setting a provisional date for the next AGM

No BRCA-sanctioned events take place on the day of the AGM, underlining its importance.

Proposals – How to Change a Rule

At the BRCA, rules are not imposed by committees or officials — the membership makes the rules. Every member has the right to propose a rule change or a new rule.

How it works:

1. Discuss your idea with club members and racers.

2. Ensure your proposal is suitable at national level, not just for your local club.

3. Submit your proposal using the online form (no paper forms are accepted).

4. Proposals must be seconded by another member.

🔗 Submit a Rule Proposal (login required)

🛑 Deadline for submissions: 27th September 2025
