Present: P Ross/ K Reed (EVH); M & J Elliott/F Jenkins/G French/B Aloof (IS);

Apologies: N Rowe/ J Crockford / D Dane
There was one club that objected to the composite club.
SW Road Running Development EGM not in Birmingham.
Track: PR - All lines are down.
All distances are on. Lights are
working, but there is a problem with the supply for the lights. Changing room at north end of the track was
planned to finish at the end of this month but stalled until 19.12.05 due to
gas supply for showers.
SE lights were not put in to cover the centre
field, just the track. This limits what
events can be covered in an evening meeting.
3K Series on
the Track: Meeting this month postponed earlier this
month. Now 30.11.05 apologies to
those who did not get the message.
Plymouth Hoe
10: 50+ entries. Medals ordered. Support
organisations contacted. Full
complement of management staff.
Marshals needed. Advertised in
running press and websites but it would be helpful if anyone is going to races
to take along forms.
AAA of England
EGM at Birmingham: For those clubs that did
vote, some proposals were one that they kept the name AAA of England, 2nd
that they own the right to AAAs championships.
There was some anger by some of the attendees that there was not a
proposal to wind up AAA and transfer to England Athletics Limited. Hence a further EGM on 10.12.05 in Derby.
Use of
Equipment: PAC organising it. Hope to have hurdles out.
Should be in the arrangements.
Finance: Cash in hand £1.10 and £7,159.89 in the bank.
Sports Hall
Event: LC Plymouth final held last Monday. Thanks to DML and PRR for their help. Langley Juniors won and they will be going
to the finals in Dawlish this Sunday. N
Rowe thanked LC and Debbie for their help.
Official
Opening of Lights: Herald want to do a piece
when it is sorted.
AGM of SW
League: Two fixtures at Yeovil and 3 at Exeter. Affiliation fees same as last year. First event first week in May.
SEAA at Bicton
College: 28.1.06 entry forms out today, need to be
back by 13.12.05. This is a chance for
local athletes to run in a big competition.
We need athletes to go along. We
also need help leading up to the event.
The course needs to be laid.
Officials needed; names to Keith Reed by the end of November.
Bids for
Courses: Bids received from PRR for 3 level 1 and PAC
1 level 2 and 1 level 3.
PA System: Had one quote, awaiting 2nd quote.
24 Hour Run
Around the Track: Reduced to 12 hours to
coincide with Children in Need.
However, unlikely to go ahead as Children in Need is this Friday and
nothing has been arranged.
Half Marathon: Forms out and 1700 entries received so far.
Foster Report
Vote: Governments of Athletics won 3 got voted
in, membership voted out.
L Chatfield organised officials in running and
walking course - £50 at Saltash Community College on 11.12.05. Forms back to LC ASAP.
B Phillips has anyone had guaranteed entries back
from London? Some have.
S Payne still keen on doing endurance nights at Brickfields on Tuesdays. Hopefully will start the Tuesday after the
3K event.
K Reed update on officials. PR and KR attended level 2 officials
day. Systems are changing. About to launch new level 2 officials award
with no specific exam; very much mentoring based and self assessment
based. Should be taking places sometime
in the spring. Currently only covers
track and field.
C Ede introduced Barry Williams, DMLs Vice
Chairman.
S Rose PRR will be at Morrisons doing their
treadmill challenge for Children in Need, 12 noon 9 pm.
K Rogers re the 3K, are there prizes for people in
a series of age categories? Yes. PR confirmed it will be the same format as
Exeter. Track rules; spikes can be
worn. Entries begin from 6 pm in PAC
