Chairman –

  • JL still trying to resolve situation with club equipment that SMc has

·         NWOA 16 Oct need committee views. Agreed we want general grants to clubs and for this to be simple. NW proposal is levy to be 10% of BO one. Much debate about what we get etc Action JL to say we prefer 5% and do not see the need to raise extra. NW Regional league – we prefer spread over the year, open to outsiders but they cannot win, age classes, no prizes this year as badly publicized, max one urban, need much better publicity but via NW fixtures etc no need for big marketing campaign. JL also to resolve issue that RJ will not post NW fixtures as the committee asked and has reverted to sending many more than we say we need.

 

Juniors – report from ZH. PPalmers were a success as we were 4th overall, 2nd in PP and 1st in NW. YB orgainsied. Thank you for help with Norway funding and coaches. Anne Ockenden and Dan Selby now in NWJS.

 

AOB

  • yes contact people and buy any old dibbers
  • Request for JIRCS to use part of S Ground for relay – yes Action DH permissions
  • Circuits – stabilizing at 20 and so losing money, may pick up once dark or could move to smaller cheaper venue, Caton also has advantage that it is never shut. Action MR publicity. Could increase price.
