Present:- I Moore; M Moore; A Hawtin; R Barraclough; K Knight; A Middleton[guest]
- Apologies:– non required.
- Minutes of previous meeting:- [6th January] – approved.
- Club Records scheme:-
- This is being organised by Adrian Middleton.
- The question is “who qualifies to set a club record?”.
- After discussion the following points are recorded:-
- [a] Only SDRR runners, running under SDRR in any race can claim an SDRR club record
- [b] 2nd claim runners if run in another club`s vest in an “open race” ?
- [c] 2nd claim runners if run in another club`s vest as part of a club team?
- These points were put to the committee vote and with 3 votes to 2 point [a] was approved as the rule.
- [b] &[c] were rejected as that time would be the other club`s record claim not SDRR, but [b] still open for reconsideration as appropriate.
- Runners must run in an SDRR club vest & submit their time to Adrian with an official set of results to confirm such a time.
- Run in The Forest 5 mile race plus fun Run.
- First Aid sorted – St John Ambulance now.
- All licences obtained
- All signage & Tape checked out
- Water sorted [300 bottles]
- Spot prizes sorted [ Ridgeway Textiles]
- Bananas & Snack bars to be available at end of race
- 25 entries so far – mainly un attached runners
- Marshalling okay [Adrian information] but final SDRR teams still to be checked
- Time keepers & “sweep” runner booked
- Will need 8-9 fun run marshals – likely SDRR first team main race runners can do this deed before the main race?
- 25 marshals enough for main race & Adrian has 25 names volunteered already
- SDRR will do a “fun Run” route survey at the Saturday “Park Run” say 2 weeks before so the marshals will know the final route.
- We intend to put out “competitive” teams in both the men`s & ladies races
- We are to check out the “social Running Group” for marshalling – or even to be able run if enough marshals already on the day
- Potential men`s team members have already been selected from club members to give SDRR predictable best team result BUT not absolutely gospel if injuries occur to these runners before the race
- Inge will contact Conkers to go through the race with them about 2 weeks before the race
- Adrian mentioned cars driving in to Conkers whilst race start is queuing up – need to have a word with Conkers to ratify stopping traffic at that time for a few minutes
- We may need a “chapter 8” qualified member at this point
- Malcolm will walk the course in the week before to check all is okay ref hazards etc
- The medical people will be stationed at Waterside Centre so mobile phone contact numbers needed
- Adrian will print out all Marshal`s instructions the week before for issuing on the day
- AOB
- Simon Reynolds has advised that it is Conkers 5th year of park runs in April – asks can SDRR provide a raffle prize? A “yes” vote was confirmed. Can we think about what to offer for discussion at next meeting?
There being no further business, the meeting closed at 9.20pm
THE DATE OF THE NEXT MEETING IS WEDNESDAY 13TH APRIL 2016 AT 8.30PM AT THE SIR NIGEL GRESLEY PUBLIC HOUSE
