EMG

Snowsport Event Management Group (EMG)

BUCS is reliant on a network of Event Management Groups (EMGs) to consistently evaluate the delivery of our event programmes, while also supporting the partnerships between BUCS and National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs). EMGs focus on one sport, and all associated events delivered within that programme.

If you wish to provide feedback / advice or comment / query any element of the sport programme, please use this form.
