With effect from 31st October 2017 Council was replaced by an elected body of Regional Representatives. These Representatives are elected by the affiliated clubs and competitions in a Region. The number of Regional Representatives per Region is determined by formula based on the number of registered individual members of British Rowing in a Region.

The Regional Representatives hold all the powers of the members of a company as defined by the Companies Act (e.g. power to call General Meetings and the power to vote on Resolutions). In addition the Regional Representatives also have the power to elect four directors to the Board; the Deputy Chair, the Chair of the Sport Committee and two further Directors.

Apart from the powers transferred to the Regional Representatives all other powers previously vested in Council have been transferred to the Board.

The Regional Chairs, or their appointed representatives, meet at a Regional Chair’s Forum three times a year with the Chair and Deputy Chair of British Rowing to consult on British Rowing’s policies and the development of rowing.

The minutes of previous Council meetings and General Meetings that have been approved or noted are below.
