CHARITIES A vote was taken on a Charity that the club would raise money for during the coming year. Nominations were HULA Animal Rescue, The Henry Allen Trust and The Harry’s Rainbow Charitable Trust. A written vote was taken and the Charity voted on was The Harry’s Rainbow Charitable Trust.

QUESTIONS

Number of runners on a club event The question was raised with regard to when we say a run is too big to be manageable. Members were told that January runs were historically the biggest and these would be kept in an area that could cater for large numbers, situation to be assessed again as and when this arises.

Renewal System. Discussion took place with regard to updating the system, this will be reviewed with the new committee

Charity Donation.The option of having a charity donation that can be made with renewal to be discussed at committee meeting.

Club Event. Members interested in hosting another event i.e. 5/10k. It was explained that this would take alot of organisation and would need a team of people to work on it, an idea to be explored at some point.

Accounts. It was recommended by members that the accounts should be audited due to the large amounts going through the club. To be investigated

Clothing. A new ladies T shirt was shown and available to order now. A children’s tee shirt has also been sourced and will launched when prices and sizes finalised. Members still requesting long sleeve tops and we will get the supplier to keep looking.

Club Name. Kevin Orchard proposed that the club name be changed to Redway Runners to get rid of the corporate image we currently have. It was decided that Kevin Orchard and Martin Lawrence would put a proposal together after speaking to relevant parties and email to all members for their consideration, an EGM would be called and a vote to be taken. It was agreed that this should be discussed as soon as possible and a decision made.
