Midland Masters

Membership Cards

Membership Cards
I have thought for some time that a membership card would be a good idea but the thought and expense of sending out 700+ each year proved to be a block! Then I hit on the idea of “membership participation”. Obtaining a membership card will be voluntary and up to the individual member who may or may not think it a useful idea. After getting support from your committee, the scheme will work like this: –
Every member who wants a membership card should contact me by email, mmac.sec@blueyonder.co.uk or as a “Comment” on this post. I will then produce a personalised membership card and send it back as an attachment.

Important: Please state file format e.g. “.docx”; “.doc”; “PDF”. The member is responsible for printing the attachment either on card or paper and preferably laminating it or covering it with transparent sticky plastic (available from stationers). This can be kept safely at home or in the wallet and can be referred to when necessary. If the scheme proves successful, it will be extended for 2011.

Relays 4x800m & 4x1500m

Relays at Horspath – 11/12th  September

In conjunction with the combined events at Horspath, Oxford on September 11th and 12th, it has been decided to add a series of 4x800m and 4x1500m relays to the programme. This will give our athletes an opportunity to fill in the gaps in the British records, and possibly even mount an attempt on the world record in one or two age groups.

At the moment we are canvassing for interest, so there is no specific timetable set down. Meet Manager Bruce Charles has asked me to coordinate the relay entries so that we can establish a timetable of events.

I would be grateful if regional secretaries would publicise the relays within their area, and ask interested athletes to contact me directly. They can either organise a team of four themselves, or just enter individually and I will combine into teams’ cross-area.

Information I need is athlete’s name, region, age group on September 10 and email address.

Entry cost per athlete will be ₤2.

Many thanks
