Pete Northedge Road rankings Press Reports From the Editor Welcome to the February edition of the Club Magazine, and thank you to Jenna Wheatman, Sue Lawal and Pete Northedge for their contribution. This edition is produced slightly later in the month, as I wanted to include the minutes of the latest Committee Meeting Minutes. These are duly published herein, and contain an important announcement for club members. With the end of end of winter imminent, I have listed details of plenty of road and Track and Field events, plus the all year round fell and off road races. Due to recent increase in ankle injuries, Jenna Wheatman has tailored her monthly Pro Am Newsletter to this, and for those training hard for spring marathons, I have lifted some advice regarding recovery runs for interest. Finally, well done to all those who represented the club at the two leagues and championship events. It has been a joy to witness the enthusiasm and another overall successful season over the hills and mud! Mick Thompson 01723 864442 [email protected] Committee Meeting Notes 10 December Present: Chris Clayton, Julie Clayton, Harry Forkin, Tony Tomascewicz, Chris Wade, Ralph Broadley, Simon Valente The meeting was held specifically to decide on allocation of the three club places in the 2013 London Marathon. Four applications for a place had been received from club members. These were considered against the qualifying criteria for allocation of a club place and after due discussion it was decided that the three club places should be allocated to Shaun Tymon, Lucy Harrison and Dave Baldwin. 21 February Present: Chris Clayton, Julie Clayton, Ralph Broadley, Harry Forkin, Tony Tomaszewicz, Sharon Houghton, Simon Valente, Shaun Tymon , Chris Wade In attendance: John Watson, Melanie Padgham Apologies for absence: None Correspondence: UKA notification of fees increase to £10.00 per member for 2103/14. Invitation from Coastival for club members to assist with event in 2013 (not running related) Finance: Tony Tomaszewicz reported on the club’s accounts. There are no plans to use any of the track fund at present. Social events: Recent nights put at local pubs had been successful. A pre-London marathon evening out will be held on April 18 at Gianni’s or Florio’s. The presentation night will follow a similar format to the usual, at Scarborough Cricket Club, with a buffet. Ideas for the year include a summer bike run and a summer ball at the Spa. Junior Section Issues: The move to Graham School has been successful. Scarborough College will be used again over the summer. Chris Wade is to attend a local network meeting on March 5th regarding submitting a bid for funding in north Yorkshire for coaching and volunteer development. The issue of runners under 11 years of age competing without being registered was discussed. It was decided that all under 11s who compete should pay £10.00 to ensure they are registered as required. Beverley 10K: Around 40 club members have entered the Beverley 10K race and 14/15 are interested in using a club coach as transport for this event. A programme for the day will be put together and coach travel offered to members. Slower Runners Group: The issue of the slower main group on club training nights was discussed. The average pace of this group may have increased over recent months, but the use of turn-round points and experienced members running alongside new runners has helped to include and support new members on training nights, however there is a need to ensure that novice runners who may not cope with the distance or pace of the main group are supported on short/slow runs if necessary. Volunteers from the committee should fill this need as required. Chairman’s Role: Chris Clayton wishes to stand down from the position of Chairman with effect from the A.G.M. Nominations are invited to replace Chris. Membership Fees: It was agreed that the increase in UKA fees should be incorporated into the club’s subscription fees for 2013/14, but no other increase is planned. Membership Database: The maintenance of the membership database will be taken on by Tony Tomaszewicz so that one person is dealing with receiving subscriptions and updating the database. Any Other Business: Charity Commission submission: This has been dealt with for 2011 and Shaun Tymon will do so for 2012. Chris Wade asked if provision could be made to prevent race numbers for the 10K race being folded in the post. A “do not bend” instruction will be printed on address labels. Annual General Meeting: The date of the A.G.M. was provisionally set for April 25, 2013 Next Committee Meeting: The next committee meeting will be held on Thursday, March 28, 2013 at Scarborough Rugby Club.
