Questions: There were a number of points and questions raised, including: 4.5 Whether Board meeting minutes were published and circulated to the membership.

DW agreed that this should be open, clear and fair and it was agreed that the process would be reviewed in readiness for the next AGM.

5. Resolutions 5.1 One resolution had been received, from Glasgow University: “Glasgow University Basketball Club propose that registration rule 2.3. from the regulations and policies for all basketball be reviewed and changed.

As of 19.07.17, the rule reads: 2.3. Registration of participants in National competition, using the above procedure, can be made up to and including the second Friday in January of the present season. For Regional/Local competition refer to the organising body for registration deadlines.

6. 2016-2017 Annual Report 6.1 KP introduced this item highlighting progress around the four key areas, namely, Grow the Club Game; Improve the Performance System, Develop Great People and Make it Happen. 6.2 KP thanked clubs, coaches, staff, volunteers and officials for their contributions over the year.

Questions 6.3 There were a number of points and questions raised, including: - Issues with the administration of the West RDLs. KP undertook to improve this. - A very short programme for the U14 development squad in the past season. KP noted that a replacement of the “Future Starz” programme was being developed to fill this gap. - U18 Men National Squad programme had been stopped before the competitive phase. KP advised that too few selected players were available to continue the programme this year. - The recruitment process to appoint Tony Garbelotto as Scotland Senior Men’s Coach. DW noted that the process adopted reflected the short timescales ahead of the Commonwealth Games and was considered a pragmatic and robust approach. It was accepted that greater clarity could have been provided to the wider basketball community and that there was merit in carrying out an independent review of recruitment processes for future Senior and Youth national team appointments to support attracting suitable candidates. - Whether the FIBA exemption to play European Division C for Senior Men and Women be of benefit to athletes. KP noted that this had not been a priority, however, it was acknowledged that the standard of competition had improved and this position would be reviewed on an annual basis. - In relation to officiating, a view that there is retention of only 1 in 8 officials completing training courses. KP noted that the approach is changing towards an environment based approach where officials were given appropriate support and tailored training to aid development, progression and retention. KP welcomed any ideas on how this could be improved further. - It was noted that there are similar problems with recruitment of coaches in the North East. KP noted that the coaching qualification and education structure is being reviewed based on feedback from the coaching survey earlier this year.

7. 2016-2017 Financial Statements 7.1 The approved Financial Statements had been circulated. 7.2 ECp noted that the financial year had been challenging, particularly due to post-Brexit exchange rates negatively impacting on the costs of international programmes. However, a small surplus had been generated and added to the reserves.

Questions 7.3 There were a number of points raised, including: - A request for more detailed income and expenditure figures. ECp noted a schedule which was circulated provided some additional detail to the company accounts and that he would review the detail provided in future.

- A request for more detail on officiating expenditure. LB outlined that this included mentoring, seminars and courses and noted that this is from April 16 to March 17. - A question on the lack of financial support to attend FIBA Commission meetings. DW noted the challenging financial year and that each individual case would need to be considered. - LB noted that income of £57k was for the U16/U18 National Squad Programmes which reflected player contributions and fundraising activity. - A question on affordability to play for Scotland as a youth player and it was suggested that the potential costs should be communicated prior to National Squad selection. LB explained there is a subsidy element in the budget to support anyone who cannot afford to pay. It was noted that individuals would not be excluded on financial grounds. If this was of concern then Clubs were encouraged to discuss this with basketballscotland. Securing other sources of corporate support was also a priority to run National Squad programmes.

7.4 DW thanked ECp and LB for their contributions.

8. Vote of Thanks 8.1 DW thanked Jamie Corr who is stepping down from the Board. 8.2 He noted that, whilst there is work to do, there is encouraging progress demonstrated by increasing levels of participation and opportunities for being inclusive for both running and wheelchair basketball. He thanked KP and staff. 8.3 DW thanked everyone for attending. 8.4 The meeting closed at 4.57pm, with a vote of thanks to the Chair.
