The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is a formal, legal requirement that Scottish Hockey undertakes to inform its member clubs and trustees of the organisation’s previous and future activities. Scottish Hockey’s Directors Report and Accounts are also presented at the AGM.

Our most recent AGM was 19 June 2023 and the minutes of the meeting can be viewed here

 

 

In law, members of a company must be persons, hence our Articles of Association permit up to two or more named Trustees to be named act on behalf of each member club. Download our Trustee Guide. In terms of formal proceedings, trustees are the only members who have voting rights at Scottish Hockey AGMs and EGMs.

In the case where two or more trustees for one club have been confirmed, the most senior [“First Named”] Trustee will carry the vote for that member club. Each member club is eligible to one vote only.

Trustees who are entitled to attend and vote at the meeting, but are not able to attend, may appoint someone (who need not be a member or members) to come along and vote in their place.

Clubs should advise us asap who will be attending and voting but this should be completed by 5pm on 6 June 2023 by emailing [email protected]

Due to restricted numbers on our Zoom licence, only trustees or their appointed representative, can attend the meeting however we will be live streaming the meeting on our YouTube channel and you can click here for the link to it. https://www.youtube.com/user/HockeyScotland

If your club needs to amend their Trustee list, please read the Trustees page or contact us with any queries.

Any change of Trustee must be notified to and accepted by Scottish Hockey in advance of the AGM via the Change of Trustee Form.

 

The proxy form should be delivered to Scottish Hockey not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the meeting.

The agenda for the meeting is detailed below.

If your Trustees cannot attend the AGM, you should ensure that you nominate someone to vote on your behalf, by emailing us at [email protected].
