A note of the main points from the AGM held at the Kings Arms,Hale on 19th January 2011.
SUBSCRIPTIONS AND RENEWALS
Fees to remain the same as last year ie very cheap! - can everyone please renew their subscriptions AS SOON AS POSSIBLE - and at least no later than the 1st April cut of date so that we know where we are with England Athletic affiliations - print off RENEWAL FORM
CLUB TREASURER
Paul Crewe has stood down from the role - the club thanks him for his commitment over the years -we are fortunate to have found an excellent replacement as Treasurer ie Paul Sewell.
See updated Contacts list on website.
OUR CHOSEN CHARITY
The club has adopted the St John's Hospice , Lancaster as it's chosen charity for 2011 - part of the entry fee from our races will be donated - we will also shake buckets for voluntary parking contributions at our races, and donate profits from refreshments etc.
If individuals are doing any fundraising they might consider St John's Hospice.
Greg Tagney and Mick Pearcy will be getting some other initiatives off the ground during the year and invite you to come forward with your ideas and offers of help - more details will appear on the website as they emerge.
See updated Contacts list on website.
MID LANCS CROSS COUNTRY LEAGUE
As no one from the club is attending these events it's been decided not to pay the entry fee of £80 in future years - members can still enter on an individual basis (currently £2.50 per race)
WEDNESDAY CLUB RUNS
Members are encouraged to get involved in the planning of the weekly runs and any suggestions for new venues or the organisation of established runs would be appreciated .
Please put forward you ideas well in advance so that Dave Shinn can always have venues listed on the Calendar for the next couple of months.
SAFETY ON CLUB RUNS - FLUORESCENT VESTS
It was noted that safety awareness on club runs has improved eg "watching out for each other",counting back,running back etc. Lets keep this up and even make it better.
Whilst members are encouraged to arrive with their own fluorescent vests on the dark nights ,a suggestion that the club purchases some extra ones (with club name on) to use as a float will be taken forward by Greg.
YOUR NEWS AND ACHEIVEMENTS
A reminder that news and photos of your race stories and acheivements are welcomed for the website as people enjoy reading about them. Please email them to david.g.shinn@gmail.com
WARM WEATHER TRAINING

Update from the 2006 AGM
Firstly a thank you to Julie Pearcy who recorded the full minutes of the meeting in November.Here is an update on the various action points.
1. Membership fees were kept at last year's levels.There are pleas elsewhere on the website for you to pay up.
Incidentally we already have quite a few new members for 2007.
2.The Dallam Dash 10K is on 6th May 2007.I need to co-ordinate with the organising team about entry details etc and I'll then update the race page which is already set up on the website.I can also put it on Runners World website.
3.London Marathon places
2007 draw results were:
1st club place – Mick Pearcy
2nd club place – Ken Nicholls
1st reserve – Dave Deason
2nd reserve – Mike McKenna
Duncan Hurtley will take 5th place.
As Mick and Dave both managed to get individual entries the other club place goes to
Mike McKenna.I've given Ken and Mike their entry slips.
Please note that the meeting also decided how the club places are to be allocated from 2008.
Interested runners should initially apply to the London Marathon through the normal channels. The club places will then be allocated by drawing rejection slips out of a hat. Members who have not been successful before will have preference,whilst those who have taken the club place in previous years will go to the bottom of the list.
The draw will take place at the Christmas Run with absent members registering an interest.
4. Juniors
John Hodgson continues to do a sterling job with the Dallam School runners and encourages them to come along to club runs, but up until now the Club doesn't have a specific training session to cater for all of our juniors.
From Spring 2007 Garry Dowthwaite and Greg Tagney, with the help of other seniors, will trial junior sessions in Dallam Park. Dowy has been keeping me up to date about the insurance and child protection aspects.Further details of the training sessions will appear on the website.
5.Relay Races
Following on from the AGM,the Calderdale Way Relay proved very successful for the Club,in getting two teams of twelve together for a very enjoyable day out.
A great effort on Greg's part.
You'll see from the website that Dowy is organising a squad for the Mary Townley Loop Relay which is on 4th February.
Fell Relays are becoming increasingly popular and tend to get fully subscribed very quickly.
So we need to keep an eye out for when entries open up for the Ian Hodgson,FRA,Calderdale way etc.
