BAA AGM

All in-person attendees need to book in advance. If you book a ticket and subsequently find you are unable to attend then please cancel your ticket so another member may attend.

The IOP is reopening to external visitors in October. They have kindly offered their Kings Cross venue for our AGM, enabling us to hold the event with up to 75 attendees. The IOP are helping us to livestream the event on the BAA YouTube channel so members will be able to watch remotely without booking.

If you decide to attend in-person then please read the below IOP guidance to help protect both their visitors and their employees whilst COVID is still with us (updated on the 18th October).

On arrival attendees will have their temperatures checked. You will also be asked to use the hand sanitisers and to check in using the QR code and the NHS COVID-19 smartphone app.

Attendees are encouraged to:

• Maintain one metre social distancing and to wear masks, (unless exempt), except when eating.
• Be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (unless they are unable to be vaccinated).
• Take a lateral flow test before visiting the premises. Please only attend if the result is negative. (You now require a code to collect a lateral flow test kit, codes available at https://test-for-coronavirus.service.gov.uk/collect-lateral-flow-kits .)

Please do not attend if you have COVID-19 symptoms, tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 10 days, or been told to self-isolate by the NHS COVID-19 smartphone app or by NHS Test and Trace.
