BMAF XC Championships – Results

A successful championships took place yesterday in Perry Park, Birmingham. I have reproduced a message from the MMAC Chair, Irene Nicholls, to the organisers….

“Hello everyone, congratulations on a most successful Championships today.
Please accept my personal thanks and that of BMAF & MMAC for once more providing a very supportive and professional team effort – I hope that the athletes appreciate the work and planning that goes into these events.  It has been a pleasure working with you all.
Wishing you a successful season and again many thanks” ………………..Irene

Marshals for BMAF XC Champs, 12th March 2011

There are still volunteers needed to help with marshalling the BMAF XC Championships to be held on the 12th March in Perry Park, Birmingham.

Birchfield Harriers who so kindly agreed to co-organise this event with Midland Masters AC, have a very big XC event the week before and cannot be expected to supply all the marshals for both events on consecutive weekends. I am therefore once more appealing to any members who perhaps are injured and cannot compete in the event to consider helping us out. The first of 2 races starts at 12 noon and marshals will be required to “sign” in at no later than 11.15 am in the Birchfield Harriers Club Room at the Alexander Stadium.

It is an easy course to marshal but we do need at least another 10 volunteers.

If you can help then please either make a comment on this post giving your email address or contact me at mmac.sec@blueyonder.co.uk

MMAC XC Championships, Droitwich, 23rd January 2011

It has been pointed out to me that there is a discrepancy between the team age groups published on the entry forms for the MMAC XC Championships in the Newsletter and that published on the entry forms which are on this Blog and on the MMAC & BMAF Websites.

The entry forms on the Blog & Websites are correct.

We are following the recent changes made by the BMAF Executive bringing the men’s team age groups in line with the women’s. These are: –

M35 – 44; M45 – 54; M55 – 64; M65 – 74; M75+ (depending on entries for this event M65+)

W35 – 44; W45 – 54; W55+ (depending on entries for this event W45+)

These will also apply to our Road Relays in April and the National Masters Road Relays in May. Any queries, please contact me on the usual numbers.
