YCBA AGM 2026

YCBA AGM 2026

Please make a note in your diaries that our AGM will be held at 10:00 on Saturday 13th June, in the Cairn Hotel, Harrogate. It will precede the start of the Yorkshire Festival of Bridge. We are keen to see as many of you as possible, either face to face or via the Zoom link found on the AGM entry on the Events+ page.

This occasion allows members to make their thoughts known. Please make the most of this opportunity. Attendance has declined in recent years, and we are keen to reverse this trend. Note should be made that any nominations for positions on the Main Board, or any Special Resolutions potentially affecting the constitution, need to be made in writing to the Secretary by 23rd May. Nominations for Main Board positions will require a proposer and seconder, whilst special resolutions will require the support of another member.
