Forum Grand
Prix: Agreed
at July meeting to bin it, further debate was carried out on whether to carry
out. It was established that very few athletes had actually taken part in the
number of races to qualify for the overall Grand Prix awards. The Grand Prix
needs a lot of work to collate the results and it was felt it was not worth carrying
on. Thanks were extended to Graham and Keith for their hard work in collating
the results. The presentation to winners will be made at the AGM on Monday 10th
October at Windsor House 7-30pm. Please encourage winners to come along:
