You may or may not be aware that Paddle Scotlands AGM is coming up (19th December) and during this AGM (or before by proxy, if you cant make the 19th) theres an opportunity to vote for President and Board Members. This is a really important part of being a member of the organisation we all love and care for.

Paddlesports should be accessible to all and be representative of, not only different areas of the country but across all disciplines. Having a strong, diverse, inclusive board who's interests extend across a wide and varied Paddlesport landscape is one way of insuring that all members voices are heard.

It might not be your thing or your first priority but the process only takes a few minutes, so please register, read the bios and take the opportunity to shape the future of Paddle Scotland.
