A few simple rules ... limitless possibilities

As described in the Constitution, the administrative body of the British Go Association is the BGA Council (see the Council News page for summaries of minutes of recent Council meetings and AGMs). At the AGM, the three Officers of the BGA, the Honorary President, Honorary Secretary and Honorary Treasurer, are elected and become ex-officio Council members. Five other Council members are also elected and further members may be co-opted. In addition the AGM appoints an Auditor and the BGA can appoint Life Members and Vice-Presidents.

Council has created a number of Committees, with a Council member as chairman, and appoints members to each (known as BGA officials). Each committee has Terms of Reference and all members have a job title and job description. An examples is the Journal Editor (on the Publishing Committee).

The smooth running of the British Go Association depends on the freely given time of all those listed, and others. Council would like to thank them all. Volunteers are always welcome - please consult the list of vacancies and contact the President to discuss the opportunities.

The current list of Council members, Committees and Officials is below. A historic list of Officers and Council members is also available. Note: Email addresses have been spam-proofed by replacing the "@" by " at ".
