You may have seen notices in the clubhouse that the Committee has called an SGM to vote on an amendment to the Constitution. This amendment will enable the Club to be registered as a Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) and take advantage of tax incentives and Gift Aid.

The proposed amendment is to Section 14 of the Constitution which currently reads ;

Any property remaining after the discharge of debts and liabilities of the Club shall be paid to or distributed to another community amateur sports club for road running or athletics, or to a charitable organisation having similar objects and affiliations, as nominated at the Special General Meeting.

Will be amended to ;

Any property remaining after the discharge of debts and liabilities of the Club shall be given or transferred to another registered CASC, a registered charity or the sport's governing body for use by them in related community sports.

A minimum of 10 members are required to vote, your vote may be in person or by proxy. You may send your proxy vote to the Secretary at dempsey90@blueyonder.co.uk

The proposed Constitution amendment is the only business that can be dealt with at this SGM.
 

Brecon 40 :  Brecon Beacons, Saturday 21

On 21st May Mark Liptrot ran in the Brecon 40 event with a great run finishing inside the top ten. Results

40 very hilly miles (7600 ft of ascent) in the Brecon Beacons as part of the Runfurther Ultra Running series. A touch on the long side for most, but
a great day out in the hills.

Worth considering as strength and endurance builders for that autumn marathon or an early start on the road to the London marathon.

Northern Track and Field League -Match 1 Ellesmere Port

In the sprints, Thaddeus Anim Somuah almost completed a double winning the 200m in 22.2s equalling his club record and narrowly missing out in the 100m where he finished 2nd recording the same time as the winner. Michael Causer was 3rd in the 200m B race after 2 impressive performances in the jumps. Michael  finished 2nd in the A string Long Jump breaking the club U17 and Senior records with 6.55m and 2nd in the A high jump, only losing out on count back.

Good points were scored in the middle distance events with John Ashcroft finishing 2nd in the 800m A Race and Jamie Webb finishing 2nd in the B race in his league debut. Jamie added valuable points in coming 4th in the 400m A race. In the 1500m, Matt Shirling had an impressive debut winning the A string in a P.B. of 4.04.3 and Ian Costello ran his best time for many years finishing 2nd in the B race.

Steve Clague was our only runner in the 3,000m steeplechase finishing 4th in the A race despite suffering with a calf injury incurred during the 400m hurdles A race where he still finished 4th. Steve had a typically busy afternoon finishing 4th in the 400m B and 2nd in the B string Pole Vault before tackling a duo of relays.

In the last individual track race of the day, Nathan Brown was 6th making his 5,000m debut in the A race and Maurice Collins finished 4th in the B race.

Phil Robinson had a good day in the jumps following a good 2nd in the A string pole vault. Phil was 3rd in the B string high jump, 4th in the B string long jump and 5th in the A string triple jump before finishing the day with a fine 3rd place in the B string Javelin.

We have a thriving throws section at the moment and this was demonstrated in the results where all of our athletes finished in the top 3 in the 8 individual events. Gary Ireland led the way finishing 3rd in the A Hammer, the A Discus, the A Javelin and the A Shot Putt. There were great wins in the B string Hammer (Mike Hughes) and the B string Shot Putt (Mike Jackson). Mike J was also 3rd in the B string Discus.

We finished 4th in both relays despite some interesting baton exchanges! The 4 x 100m team of Thaddeus Anim Somuah, Michael Causer, Steve Clague and Jamie Webb recorded 48.6s and in the 4 x 400m, Thaddeus, Ian Costello, Steve Clague and Jamie Webb finished in 3.50.5m.  

Well done to all who competed and thanks to the timekeepers, judges and all those who turned up to support on the day.  Full results can be found using the link below. Ian Hayburn
