Join us for this year's AGM
This year's AGM - or Annual General Meeting - is being held on Saturday 30 September 2017 from 6:30-7:30pm at the National White Water Centre in Bala, overlooking the beautiful Tryweryn. The AGM is where members get a chance to have their say about how Canoe Wales is governed and elect the newest member of our board of directors. If you're a Canoe Wales member, you can vote.
Straight after the AGM, we're hosting a free dinner for all members who have pre-registered. We're also waiving the facility fee all day at the NWWC (below the Graveyard) for any members pre-registered to attend the AGM, and there is a Slalom Prem event taking place all weekend if you'd like to stay on dry land and check out the action (or if you're already planning to be there)!
To attend the dinner and take advantage of the free facility access, we just ask that you pre-register so that we know how many of our lovely members will be coming along to share a meal with us. To register and for more information, please visit our online ticketing website here: https://www.picatic.com/CanoeWalesAGM
