Chance to meet staff - flashback to previous RSPB annual meeting held in central London

IT looks unlikely that the RSPB will revert to holding its AGMs in person.

In response to a member who expressed disappointment at no longer having "the opportunity to meet and converse with key people", the society responded:  "Following our move to an online AGM, we have had incredibly positive feedback, with people joining not just from around the UK but globally, too.

"For the 2025 event, we had more than 2,300 registrations - far higher than we could achieve with an in-person event. 

"In a survey we conducted after the AGM in 2024, which asked about the format of future events, only one person said that they would like to return to an in-person AGM." 

The society adds: "We continue to review the format of our AGM each year, taking into consideration feedback from members and ensuring value for money."
