nearer the finish.

membership cards.
London Marathon- the club has three places- the draw will be made on 28 Nov
–please have evidence of rejection.
Cross Country series- Dennis and Dave had attended a meeting to resolve a
number of issues. Thanks to Dennis' persistence an early meeting had been
achieved with satisfactory outcomes for the 2009 series. Race dates and
venues are on the web site/there will only be 3 trophies- Mens team, Ladies
team and Overall team/ each club to provide a recorder, a time keeper, and a
finishing funnel of 20m. Killamarsh will collate the results and Chair the
meeting for the 2010 series. Second claim runners-4 men count and 1 lady
with 10 pts added to their finishing position. As long as the risk assessment is
up to date the UKA insurance policy should cover the race. The Chairman
thanked Dennis and Dave for their contribution to what appeared to be a
successful meeting.
Club Captain.
Dave thanked all members for their thoughts regarding the 2009 GP. The basic
structure of the GP was to remain the same as would the rules on completion
and the special race, although one additional proposal would be brought to the
EGM. The races would be spread across the whole year, with the special race
better placed in the back half of the year. With the exception of the Xc's most
races would be different to 2008. A team event would run throughout 2009.
More detail at the EGM on 28 Nov.
Training night still going well.
Treasurer
Lewis reported that £300 had been banked from 1/2 marathon receipts.
Social/Publicity.
John reported that there were not as many medals to present as last year and
not as many members had completed the full GP. The WMA scoring would
make no difference to the outcome.
Please see John for tickets for the Presentation Evening- £1 each.
Steve had to send his apologies.
Terry reported that the walking weekend had had very good weather. The
hotel was a good base if 45 members wanted to go.
Greg and the meeting were delighted that Julie Keeling had offered to become
minuting secretary from the next meeting.
John Harrison thanked all members who had helped or marshalled at the
Worksop ½ marathon.
Next meetings. 28 Nov EGM for GP followed by usual meeting brought
forward from December. 2 Jan is first meeting of the New Year.
