However, under the Articles as currently written, voting must close 48 hours before the AGM itself, which means any such discussion must take place before that deadline. For that reason, the pre-meeting discussion has been structured as a separate meeting ahead of the AGM, rather than as part of the AGM itself.","meeting_date":"2026-07-26T10:00:00","meeting_details":{"format":"online","format_label":"Online","location":null,"online_url":"https://zoom.us/j/94512046950?pwd=ufzHCECOon6Lu9ePRbdMd1w7rGtFJt.1"},"meeting_type":"agm","meeting_type_label":"AGM","pre_meeting":{"duration_minutes":60,"format":"online","format_label":"Online","location":null,"online_url":"https://zoom.us/j/95647911643?pwd=mpkovxuvINBgFdaOT2dKbJLkk1r0xO.1","starts_at":"2026-07-23T18:00:00"},"slug":"bp-agm-2026","stages":{"amendments_open":false,"comments_open":false,"motion_submission_open":false,"voting_open":false},"subtitle":null,"title":"BP AGM 2026","url":"https://tools.britishpowerlifting.org/agm/bp-agm-2026/","visibility":{"show_comments_publicly":true,"show_motions_publicly":true,"show_reports_publicly":true,"show_results_publicly":true},"withdrawn":false}]}
