Important Message To MMAC Members

1^st Claim Members – IMPORTANT READING

An important change to how England Athletics handles the registration scheme comes into place on the 1^st April 2011. This will affect ALL our members but particularly our 1^st Claim Members who we register. Plastic Competition Licences (registration cards) will no longer be sent out to athletes thus saving a considerable amount in production and postal costs. They will be replaced with an E-Card from April 2011. This will keep the annual fees down to a minimum to cover insurance and welfare. Each athlete registered will receive a welcome email and their Unique Registration Number (URN) immediately upon receipt and processing of the Registration fee, which will enable them to print an E-Card from their computer. Any 1^st Claim Members who do not have access to a computer or do not have an email address should consider carefully if they have a friend or relative who could receive the email for you. I would not use this email address for anything else. Otherwise, I as Club Secretary, will act on your behalf and provide you with the URN (as I do now) and the E-Card. This new system should make it easier for members to log onto their portal to manage their own data thus reducing my work! Having a valid email address will allow athletes to retrieve lost E-Cards and URNs at no extra cost or additional work by me!

The success of this scheme will depend on having a valid/active email address. It is imperative that email addresses are updated if there is a change either by the individual on their portal OR by informing me. The email address will become a mandatory field on the EA database from April 2011 so I would appreciate that 1^st Claim Members who currently do not have an email address but who have kind friends could let me know.

Birmingham Half Marathon

A pleasant day weather wise greeted us this morning if a little chilly. Not that would have worried the 15,000 odd participants of this 3rd running of the half marathon in Britain’s second City.

I stood at the 1 mile mark in Digbeth to capture a few images and despite the runners taking a slight short cut round the right hand turn, in and out of traffic cones and central reservations, no one tripped and no incidents. Phew, that was a relief. I think the marshal at that point didn’t fancy trying to re-direct nearly 15,000 runners! Can’t say I blamed him.

Back up to Broad Street to see if I could get more images and after fighting through the crowds managed to get a clear spot. Unfortunately missed the winners but managed to get a few including a couple of MMAC members.

John Keegan; MMAC

Michael Elwell; Cobra RC & MMAC

As more and more runners finished, the congestion around the area of the Symphony Hall in Broad Street got quite unbearable and I understand from later radio reports that runners were queuing up to cross the finish line… not good.
