Members who already have entered the GP Series only have to pay MMAC £3.00 for the handicap but they will have to pay the full £8.00 for entry to the Open race. We will then refund the £5.00. Please inform me beforehand so that I can arrange the refund. Email mmac.sec@blueyonder.co.uk

Entries are online only at http://areg247.co.uk
Closing date for MMAC entries is strictly the 22nd February 2014. There are no MMAC entries taken on the day because of the handicap calculations.
If you have not used AREG before and require your login details then please contact mmac.sec@blueyonder.co.uk
Your details will be emailed to you.
In previous years we have had members running who have not registered for the handicap. Let us make this a good fun; enjoyable and sociable event. Please support us.

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.
