by LWAC. The response being that the track should be available from Autumn 2011 with potential
for LWAC usage from Spring 2012. A decision on basing the club from the new facility, or
remaining at Yarborough, would be opened to the club membership at an EGM (Extraordinary
General Meeting) to be called once all the details of the new facility and any potential effect on
membership costs are known.
A question was raised regarding potential commentary position overlooking the new track. It was
confirmed that an adjacent sports centre would run alongside the track but details of the exact
layout were being determined.
A question was raised regarding the number of lanes on the new track. It was confirmed that an 8
lane track was being laid down.
It was mentioned that a notable success was omitted from the Secretary’s report, this related to
