I don't think you do, but it is somewhat confusing. You can specify on the voting form exactly how you want to vote on all the motions put down. So you may as well put the chair down as your proxy and tick all the boxes as you see fit. Another option would be to select your national council rep - see this list http://www.thebmc.co.uk/Pages.aspx?page=181 - as most of them will be attending the AGM. This would enable them to vote on your behalf should any motions/ammedments be proposed from the floor (I'm sure what is possible here, plus it assumes you know their opinions and they know yours)

I think by far the safest thing is to select the chair. Otherwise your proxy could go sick, or "lose" your slip if they strongly disagree with you.
