28 May Spring Event and AGM (May 2026)
We held the Business Archives Council of Scotland’s 67th Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the iconic Falkirk Wheel — the world’s only rotating boat lift — on Thursday 28 May, 10:30–13:00. It featured two engaging talks from Scottish Canals professionals, exploring the intersection of records, heritage, and placemaking. The event concluded with an optional boat ride on the Falkirk Wheel.
Attendance for the AGM and talks is free and open to all. There was a £5 charge for the optional ride on the Falkirk Wheel (usually £17.95).
The AGM is an opportunity to join the Executive Committee if you’re interested in shaping the work of the BACS. It is an exciting time to join the committee as we’re about to launch a small number of micro-grants and are planning the Autumn conference in Edinburgh. If you are interested please contact the Executive Committee with your name and contact details, whether you are a current BACS member and if you’re interested in a particular role or joining as an executive officer. Or you can complete this nomination form.
