BGA Policies - Index

As of June 2024 this index and the policies linked supercede the previous versions. The items on this list are the current policies of the British Go Association (BGA). The policies, and their application, are subject to the provisions of the Company's Articles which can be modified only by a 75% majority of those voting at a General Meeting of the BGA. These policies are not intended to restrict our effective operation. The Board will revise them, or depart from them in specific cases, where it judges it appropriate to do so, subject to the requirement to conform to the Company's Articles and to UK law. Anybody wishing to propose a change to this document should either contact any member of the Board. For these policies, and all documents they refer to, the version on the website here is the official version.
