CHARITIES A vote was taken on a Charity that the club would raise money for during the coming
year. Nominations were HULA Animal Rescue, The Henry Allen Trust and The Harry’s Rainbow
Charitable Trust. A written vote was taken and the Charity voted on was The Harry’s Rainbow
Charitable Trust.
QUESTIONS
Number of runners on a club event The question was raised with regard to when we say a run is
too big to be manageable. Members were told that January runs were historically the biggest and
these would be kept in an area that could cater for large numbers, situation to be assessed again as
and when this arises.
Renewal System. Discussion took place with regard to updating the system, this will be reviewed
with the new committee
Charity Donation. The option of having a charity donation that can be made with renewal to be
discussed at committee meeting.
Club Event. Members interested in hosting another event i.e. 5/10k. It was explained that this
would take alot of organisation and would need a team of people to work on it, an idea to be
explored at some point.
Accounts. It was recommended by members that the accounts should be audited due to the large
amounts going through the club. To be investigated
Clothing. A new ladies T shirt was shown and available to order now. A children’s tee shirt has also
been sourced and will launched when prices and sizes finalised. Members still requesting long
sleeve tops and we will get the supplier to keep looking.
Club Name. Kevin Orchard proposed that the club name be changed to Redway Runners to get rid
of the corporate image we currently have. It was decided that Kevin Orchard and Martin Lawrence
would put a proposal together after speaking to relevant parties and email to all members for their
consideration, an EGM would be called and a vote to be taken. It was agreed that this should be
discussed as soon as possible and a decision made.
Meeting closed at 21.40pm
