Most people attending the AGM in person or online are attending because they have a specific reason - Council members, potential Council members awaiting election results, people getting awards, those involved in running the AGM that are members, and those submitting motions for debate. I think at least one AGM since 2020 was hybrid and I will check what next year's one will be. I guess if you feel strongly enough about it you could attend the next AGM and raise it as a motion? I think you will rarely get more than 0.1% people attending AGMs whether online or face to face or hybrid . If 0.1% of BASC members attended the AGM that would be around 150 people. Just over 1,000 people elected the two latest Council elections - less than 1% of the membership Have a look at AGM minutes since 2010 here, which includes numbers voting in Council elections also:
BASC AGM - BASC
As I outlined earlier, these engagement levels are not unique to BASC, and for day to day online engagement on policy campaigns engagement is between 1% to 5% of those receiving emails with calls to action, acting on those calls to action. Engagement on policy issues from active members on SD probably also sits within the 1% to 5% band. Maybe not? I suppose one could run a poll to find out!
