Extract of minutes from August 2011 meeting

1.   The minutes of the West District committee show that they are still looking for volunteers to host the District XC Relays and XC Championships this year, and also the Masters XC Championships. Unfortunately there is no venue in Clydebank which could take the numbers involved.

2.  125^th Anniversary Dinner. J.Hanratty enquired as to the availability of the Westpark Hotel in Duntocher. Subsequently confirmed that there are Saturday nights free in October. Committee to vote on preferred date, quickly.

3.  Scottish Athletics have announced a replacement scheme for Clubmark, which was not universally taken up by clubs. Club Together is the new scheme. Because of the reduced number of committee members in attendance at the meeting, we have deferred a debate on the scheme until the next meeting in September.

4.  Y. Green has agreed to pursue the ordering of club vests in appropriate numbers from Purple Rock.

5.   There was a lengthy debate on the (lack of) coaches in the club for young athletes. Existing coaches are invited to attend the next committee meeting in order to present a plan for improving the situation. In particular we have a need to ensure that anyone who coaches young athletes is appropriately accredited. Next meeting is due on Friday 16^th September at the Playdrome.
