End Of Year Awards 2023 Nominations Open
--------------------------------------------------
TLDR; nominations link: https://forms.gle/1g6xdpRvnEU4GJ5K9

That's right, it's that time of year again and the EOYAs are back!

We've made a couple of changes to the categories, otherwise everything is pretty much the same - nominations close on 13th December, our team shortlists the nominations with voting on the shortlists taking place 20-30th December and the winners being announced on New Years Eve!

So, what are the EOYA23 categories? They are as follows:

Community Spirit
Video Of the Year
Content Creator Of The Year
International Rider Of The Year
Breakthrough Rider Of The Year
Rider Of The Year

Community Spirit - who in the UK mountainboard community really encapsulates the community spirit of mountainboarding? It could be someone that is always giving mountainboard lessons, someone always organising rides, someone who keeps a crew together or all of or none of the above! When you think Community Spirit, who do you think of?

Video Of The Year - last year we had Clip and Video separated. This year, they are one and the same category! If it's a banging mountainboard video, no matter if its 30seconds or 30minutes long, you can nominate it.

Content Creator Of The Year - we are pleased to carry this over from last year as good content is something we all love. What rider or crew are getting the good word of mountainboarding out there and keeping mountainboarders stoked?

International Rider Of The Year - are first time going outside the boarders of the UK! With the return of the World Mountainboard Championships this year, this category made complete sense. Who was your favourite international mountainboarder in 2023?

Breakthrough Rider Of The Year - another returning category, and an important one. Who had a breakthrough year in 2023? It could be a rider overcoming their fears, a rider that made unexpected big splashes in the scene or a rider that rode at another level in 2023.

Rider Of The Year - a staple of the EOYAs. Who was the UK mountainboarder of 2023?

Nominations are now open! You can submit more than once if you'd like, though please only add one name per category per submission! If you prefer a link that's easy to share (thanks for sharing it, by the way) then here it is: https://forms.gle/1g6xdpRvnEU4GJ5K9

ATBA-UK AGM: 6th September, 6.30pm
--------------------------------------------
Hi all, the ATBA-UK AGM will be on 6th September at 6.30pm on Microsoft Teams. If you would like to attend, please message Stu Kirk and I will share the link with you. We don't want to share the link publicly for obvious reasons.

Here is the agenda:
Director's Statement
Financial Statement
ATBA-UK Overview
Volunteer Withdrawals
Open Positions and Nominations
UKC22 Survey Feedback
Future events (UKC23, MWC bid)
General Discussion
AOB

Open positions:
- Standards and Instructors Lead. Someone to lead on setting and maintaining of standards and administering the instructor training program.
- Electric Lead/Liaison. Someone to lead on integrating the electric off-road and mountainboard communities more closely. Look for opportunities with insurance, events and venues.
- Promotion team. People to help run the website and social media streams, information dissemination and event promotion including contacting local media outlets.
- Sponsorship Lead. Someone to take the lead in engaging with and managing new and current sponsors for events and the ATBA-UK as a whole.
- Events Team. Ideally someone/people who do not compete (preferred but not essential) to join the team to help with the organising and running of events in the build up to and especially at, the events.

General Discussion:
This is the space to discuss thoughts and ideas on promotion, retention and growth for mountainboarding in general in the UK. All discussion needs to take into consideration that the committee as it stands is three people, so any discussion here will only go forwards if the committee grows by filling the above positions.

The idea is for this discussion to help guide the new committee going forwards. The new committee will need time to figure out it's strengths and how to work together before any plans or actions can be made or taken. There are no promises that the discussion will lead to concrete actions being taken.
