RSCDS London AGM 13 June 2026
The Annual General Meeting of the London Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society will be held on
Saturday 13 June 2026 at 6.45pm in the
Upper Hall at St Columba’s Church,
Pont Street, London SW1X 0BD.
​
It will be followed by our End of Season Dance which will also take place in the Upper Hall. Members and friends of the Branch are invited to attend both events but only members voted at the AGM. If you cannot get to the meeting, we will still be pleased to see you at the dance.
The meeting usually lasts about 45 minutes. Members learned about the work of the Branch and our plans for the future. The Committee welcomed comments and opinions, either through a formal motion, which must be received in writing by the Branch Secretary by 31 March 2026, or during general discussion at the meeting. The motion should be signed by the proposer and seconder, both of whom must be members of the Branch. Only motions submitted in advance and appearing on the agenda can be voted upon. An agenda for the meeting and a report covering the Branch’s activities will be circulated with the next issue of The Reel.
Members are encouraged to stand for election as an office holder or Committee member. Nominees should provide the Secretary with a written nomination by 31 March 2026 signed by the nominee, a proposer and a seconder, all of whom must be Branch members. There are twelve positions in total on the Committee (Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer and Secretary and eight ordinary members). We hope that members will step forward and join the Committee to contribute to its work and support Scottish country dancing. If there are more candidates than places, ballot papers will be issued to all Branch members with the next edition of The Reel. It is also possible to help with various aspects of the running of the Branch without necessarily being on the Committee.
