MMAC

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM YOUR CHAIR & MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY

I have informed the MMAC Committee of my resignation to take affect from the AGM. It is imperative that nominations are received prior to the AGM on the 26^th April, in fact as soon as possible. Any member who feels that they can offer their help particularly in the area of membership subscriptions; event co-ordination; website maintenance; social media etc. should let us know immediately. Skills needed are some IT experience but not essential, however they should have a basic knowledge of Word and Excel and the ability to maintain electronic records (Windows/File Explorer or equivalent) and above all the ability to communicate.

We are not expecting one person to carry out all of the duties and a possible breakdown is as follows:-

1. General Secretarial
2. Membership – subscriptions etc.
3. Online entries
4. Race Organiser – application of race licenses etc.
5. Maintenance of the official website (knowledge of programming NOT required as WordPress is very user friendly with plenty of “Help” available)
6. Organisation of Social Media

There is an Honorarium of £200 per year for the Secretary & Membership Secretary’s position.

Tom Morris – 20th February 2015

Colin Simpson Memorial 5 Mile Handicap 2015

The Colin Simpson Memorial Handicap 2015

ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED

There are now only a few days left to get your entries in for the MMAC Annual Handicap over 5 miles. To date (20/01/2015) with just over 3 days to go we have only 15 entries from over 700 members. We do need your support if this event is to continue. This annual handicap used to be one of the most popular events that the club put on and we now commemorate our Treasurer of 40 years, Colin Simpson in the title of the event. It’s intended to be a fun competition and a change from the usual road championship events we usually organise. The ‘handicapper’ works hard to give fair handicaps and spends a lot of time on his calculations. Hence our strict closing date, which this year is 23rd January.

We do need your support … ENTER NOW
