10k Track Run – Member Poll
Please go to the “10k Track Run Poll” page or click http://tinyurl.com/moefdks to fill in our very important Poll.
We are already looking at our Championships Track programme for next year and were contemplating re-introducing a 10,000m. However, with a congested fixture list, this is not a simple task. Would we get support for this? Would athletes double up with the 5000m? Would it be a disaster for entering other events on the day? How can we get more members to enter a 10,000m track? This is becoming a rare event on the track, so why didn’t more members support it this year?
To help us answer at least a couple of these questions it would be a great help if members completed the Poll.
The Poll closes on the 1st October 2013

Announcement of Inter-Area Team Manager
Inter-Area Challenge Match, 21st July, Solihull
I am happy to announce that Elaine Mee has very kindly taken on the role of our Team Manager for the above event. Elaine is a very experienced athlete; official and club team manager and we are very pleased that she has filled this gap in our setup. Many of our members will already know Elaine who will be ably assisted on the day by Tony Porter.
Elaine will be receiving the list of members who have already declared their interest to be selected for the team by previously contacting either Irene Nicholls or Lou Satterthwaite. Any members who have NOT done this so far, then please contact Elaine on jandemee@btinternet.com
I must stress that Elaine will be contacting the athletes who are selected. The compiled list of members who have declared an interest in competing does NOT mean that they will necessarily be selected for the team.

Latest Goings On!!!
Yesterday, 9th June, our Track & Field Championships took place at Nuneaton. A depleted entry list owing to clashes with other events didn’t spoil the day however and quite a few members did in fact double up by competing at more than one meeting.

Can I thank all the members who tried out the new system and much appreciate their patience when the bugs started biting!! Inevitably teething troubles are bound to happen and we all have learnt from it. Hopefully for the next event that goes online we will have more time and be able to get the best out of it.
