AGM 2020 Process

On 4 September, England Athletics confirmed the process for its 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM). Member clubs should note that the process for this 2020 AGM differs from previous years due to the impact of Covid-19.

In acknowledgement that our priority is the safety and wellbeing of our members and staff, and to reduce unnecessary travel, this year’s AGM will be a closed meeting (scheduled 10 October 2020). Attendance at the AGM will therefore be restricted to a minimum number of persons required to be physically present to comply with company law and England Athletics’ articles, subject to applicable indoor social distancing measures and Government guidelines. Whilst a postponement was considered, we would still have been required to hold the AGM before the end of December this year and we anticipate that prohibitive social distancing measures are still likely to be in place at that time.

However, because of this, we put additional measures in place to ensure that you, our member clubs, continue to remain engaged with, and play an active role in, this year’s AGM. This included:

  • All resolutions to be dealt with by proxy – with all member clubs being circulated proxy voting forms and associated documentation well in advance of the AGM (circulated Wednesday 16 September 2020 – see links above).
  • Pre-AGM webinar (held on 15 September 2020) to enable members to receive a direct update from England Athletics Board Directors. This included the presentation that would have been delivered at an open AGM meeting, had that been possible, as well as an opportunity for members to submit questions to the Board.  A recording of this webinar will be made available on this page shortly.
