Annual General Meeting 2023

We are looking forward to seeing many of you at our Annual General Meeting at 19:30 on Wednesday 6 September 2023 at St Mary's Bryanston Square Primary School, Enford St, W1H 1DL.

We will adapt the Wednesday Club Run on the day so that everyone can attend, have their say and help set the agenda for the Club! As usual after the AGM, we will also be offering a drink for those present to celebrate the Club's year, some awards and our exciting future!

Annual Report and Resolutions

The Club's Annual Report for this year is now available to read here (Annual Report 2023).

As part of this year's report, we are also very excited to announce the outcome of the strategic review that the Committee has been working on since January 2023 and the proposed areas of focus for the future to ensure that the Club continues being a large, welcoming, inclusive and diverse running and multi-sport community for many years to come.

To implement some of the changes required, we are looking to pass the following three resolutions to amend the Club Rules at the AGM: 

  1. A resolution to split the Club's governance into two committees (a governance committee and an operational committee)
  2. A resolution to facilitiate the Club's incorporation into a different legal structure
  3. A resolution to eliminate references to Club Headquarters given the temporary closure of the Seymour Centre

You can find a copy of all three resolutions here (Proposed Resolutions 2023).
