The AGM 2024 (Manchester)

We're back in Manchester for this year's AGM!

Continue signing up on this event page to attend the meeting in person in Manchester.
Sign up to this event page to attend online.

The AGM is a celebration of everything OutdoorLads and its volunteers have achieved to date, and you'll hear plans for the year and years ahead. We want the experience of attending the AGM to be positive for everybody, so be prepared to hear uplifting testimonials from the Annual Members Survey, and see our feel-good video recap on the year.

The AGM is a chance for Full & Concession Members to have their say by asking questions, voting on governance matters, or even standing as a Trustee themselves. If you're a PAYG Member, you can still attend, but you will not be able to vote.

Attendees are welcome to arrive from 14:00, for a 14:30 start.

For those who use BSL, the meeting will be attended by an interpreter so that more of our members can take part.
