SROC Committee Meeting Minutes 8 Dec 2011

Apologies: Jane Anthony and Zoe Harding

Minutes: accepted as a true record, one error Helsington is BOC relays not JK

Matters Arising:

·         Jane A has agreed to be Volunteer Manager Action JA contact MO to collect files

·         Club Mark- not yet

·         Club Tops – Gillet via Rick is expensive, no news yet from Ultrasport Action  MR/KN/ME persue others for 2014

·         Media course- MR – very useful and already being used for Worden

·         Spring series- all volunteers now in place

·         Hutton Roof base map- M Campbell is confident now can use aerial photo

·         JL mapped Littledale and half Silver Helme

·         PCTC- initial contact made- likely to come to March event

·         NW fixtures—decision made by NW for paper from to continue

·         All other actions in hand or over

Events

·         Handicap-now 7 Jan. Action JL book venue for social

·         Spring series OK. Action MR promote the series and ME via schools contacts, TM via Lee Bowyer

·         Whitbarrowplanning almost done, ME and Paul W have met. Will have fees for F Comm and 50 to Cumbria Wildlife. Debate re pricing. QH and KN argued should have accounts / costs and then decide. Action MR send spreadsheet to ME.

·         Summer 2012 Sprint series with prologue and final. Salt Ayre, Lan Uni, Uni Cumbria and W Park. Also either Myerscough or a Chorley based one or TM/KN suggested Clitheroe. Action RB ask MO or MR to contact Myerscough, would it help if we go in term time?

·         Chorley Sprint map- TM and Bob N have volunteered for autumn 2012.  Could fit into proposed NW urban series. Debate re date. 3 Nov looks best with SELOC on 4th. Action TM talk to Lee Bowyer.

·         S Ground Oct- no org or planner yet.

·         TWT – Hutton Roof should be ready, Spring is Ok for permissions, QH should we ‘waste’ a new area on a small event. JL yes, can still call it new to most afterwards as so few do TWT, could use it instead of Farleton in autumn. Discussed B Jacksons review of TWT. Aware not annual- partly permissions and partly man power. Mass start could work, varied opinions. Could fit into a proposed Fell/Long O league. Entry fee was a bit high? Need Junior trophies for C and D courses. Not family friendly but should not compromise TWT- most other events are so there is plenty of scope for families there. JL- Big Thank You to all who worked so hard to make it a success.

·         2014 G Charnley relay- will need long lead in to plan, permissions etc Action Meeting just for 2014 to be organized.

Secretary

Will email out updated membership list late Jan.

Treasurer

Little to report. Can’t comment on profits from TWT until get money in from Fabian 4.

Hamish (working for NWOA)

NW voted to employ so now we need to make sure we use him. Various suggestions made. Agreed to ask for Club Mark (1 day), Junior SROC coaching (2 days- although this could be joint with other clubs). No need for spring publicity as we have that in hand and assume his work on Preston club night goes ahead under his BO remit. Perhaps a schools series as we used to have- keep this one in waiting for now. Action any ideas email to JL for mid Jan.

Review of SROC Policies (GS)

Constitution and Data Protection are fine.

Equity and Protection have links to old BO policies, although new ones are not very different. We agreed to adopt the new ones and have link to them.

Club Captain

*CSC Askham Fell in Feb- already some publicity to club members

*JK and BOC relays –need to meet early deadline to save money and ask for money up front from club members to ensure commitment. Action ME to start in New Year

Silva Award (JL)

Club Handicap and Trophies

No data for juniors and MO has stood down . Jane C will take over, DC can help. Agreed ME and DC to decide using data from results where they can. Action DC to provide list of previous winners of Provincial Shield. ME and DC to meet to agree winners. Email JL decisions.
