  1. Secretary

Will produce a new membership list shortly, once more renewals are confirmed. Hope to offer this electronically but need to offer people the chance to opt out ACTION KN1. All renewals done via BOF now but Friends need to be invited to renew ACTION KN1 We have about 105 membership units, not including guests. Most mail from BOF is now electronic and so can be forwarded and not left to meetings.

 

  1. Junior Issues – KH sent a report. Main request was for funding of the Juniors going to Norway this summer and for Katrin and Zoe who have been selected for World Schools. Agreed #50 for World Schools and #150 for the group going to Norway. ACTION DC1

 

5. Mapping – (no AF)

* Printer- not working, choices are repair, replace or see if we can manage without. Given high cost of repair and quick turn around and high quality from printers we decided to see if we can manage without. Now need to report to Paul F and agree to sell the bits  ACTION MR1

* waterproof maps- generally seem good, stick when damp so man power issue at start.

* Wellington Wood- need a firm answer on permissions so we can map it (ask for volunteer in club?), we have grant. ACTION DH1

* Roeburndale – M Campbells map was v good

* Farleton Fell – Malcolm is wanting a deadline ACTION AF1

 

  1. Club League

SW and DC has not reached a decision for 2008. It was discussed again and then voted on.

Agreed unanimously that rules for Juniors and adults should be the same.

Agreed 6:3 that a person could only win 1 trophy (this would usually be your age class but could be a different age class if you do not win your own age class) This now needs to be communicated to members, statistician etc via web and newsletter ACTION DC + KN1

 

  1. LYG

28 June in Stanley Park. New format on the day and for selection races. Likely to be fewer selection races and in clusters. Also funding cut so need to consider if it is viable. We will try to support it. ACTION SMc1. In future a schools league as in Cumbria to feed into this would be helpful. LSOA meeting agreed to put LSOA on hold until more volunteers are available.

 

  1. Social.

Ceilidh- tickets on sale, need to sell more at Handicap, thanks to efforts of those involved.

BOC accom – SW had researched 2 costed options, now need to decide if a booking would be taken up ACTION MR1. JK accom – SW may not go so no group booking, add this to above ACTION MR1. Club Diner agreed Fri 14 March, possible venue Forton House, agreed to keep cost under #20 ACTION MR1

 

  1. Club Captain.

CSC good size entry. Relays – will be published in newsletter and at Handicap, will need ‘manager’ on day if SW does not go to JK. Club of Year – do we have a chance? possibly ACTION SW + MR1

 

  1. Publicity and NWOA – no PK

 

  1. Treasurer. Bank balance is about #18,500, much of A f All is spent, #1100 dev grant is earmarked, income from events is up. Year end likely to see balance of around #12K

 

  1. Fixtures. Most of 2008 is in hand. Much discussion on format and needs of summer series- sun, eves, repeat venues or not, day street O? ACTION RB + MR1. Also need to check on PK and Beacon Fell in Aug ACTION RB1. Hampsfell is rather far as a follow up to Preston events but is also YBaker and has been publicized. Perhaps SELOC may have a suitable event ACTION RB1. For autumn series it would be best if we can avoid clash with PFO ACTION RB and Cuerden Valley needs agreement before we can proceed at all ACTION SMc1. Should we host BSOC in 2009? We need to look into this ACTION SMc1

 

NEXT MEETING MARCH 13th
