MINUTES OF THE
MEETING OF CLOWNE ROAD RUNNERS FRIDAY 3rd February 2006
Apologies:
Colin Cameron, Barrie Williams, Andrea
Jackson, Brain Banton, Graham Shawcroft.
The minutes of the previous meeting
were read and agreed as a true record.
Clowne Half Marathon – extra
hats had been purchased and were distributed at the meeting.
Steve Shipp passed around the
printed kit bags for the membership to look at.
The cost would be around £1800 for
700 bags. They worked out at £2.19 each + VAT and then a 10% discount.
Steve Shipp has now paid the £1 for
competing in the fun run.
Presentation night – thanks to the winners and those contributing on the night,
including the excellent trophies.
X-country – Terry
Richardson said all was in hand for the Clowne event next Sunday but reported
being a little short on Marshals at this stage but we should be OK on the day.
The catering was in hand, Les made
a request for others to come and assist if they wanted the catering to extend
beyond soup and cakes. The Secretary said that he had secured some packs of
sandwiches for the buffet.
John Proffitt pointed out that the catering
would have to be changed from soup when we hosted the summer X-country race
later in the year.
Membership - subscriptions were now due, people have up until the end of
March to pay.
Elmton Chase – the proposed date was the 21st June, could people check
if this date clashed with any other races or even the World Cup.
Training night – no issues.
Andy Ward did mentioned entering the club in a rely race. Probably four teams
of mixed ability would be required. The Chairman asked Andy to come to the next
meeting with some proposals.
Grand Prix – no issues. Results
and standings would be available at the next meeting. So far two races had been
completed in the series.
Steve also mentioned that the
family had received a letter from a lady who was wishing to go from Sheffield
to Chesterfield along the canal (Trans Pennine Trail) being pushed in a wheelchair.
She was asking if the club wanted to help, if she makes contact again the club
were happy to assist her. The 10th May was the likely date.
Secretary – Dennis mentioned a letter from the St John Ambulance
people based at Chesterfield asking for donations. The membership felt that the
cause was supported adequately throughout the year.
Treasurer – nothing else to report
President – The president reported that the bus for the Scotland trip was now half
full. (Others thought it might be half empty)
Club Captains – Dave Johnson reported half a dozen or so turning up for
training and thanks to Andy Ward for his training sessions.
A lady from
Brighton University had contacted Dave who was looking into the effects of
marathon running on runners and a questionnaire was available for people who
wanted to fill one in and return it to her.
Worksop Members – April 26th will be the first summer league
race.
Great South Run – Brian Banton needed a decision on numbers soon.
The Chairman then announced he
would be calling a committee meeting to resolve some outstanding issues namely,
life membership, second claim membership and the AGM issue of the Grand Prix.
AOB
John Proffitt asked if Clowne RR
made a donation to Steve Shipp’s Ranby races. Steve replied saying he never
asks for one. It was suggested that if John wished for a donation to be made he
should submit it to the Secretary as per the current rules.
Meeting closed @ 21:28
Date of next meeting Friday 3rd
March 2006.
